Three days after punter Britton Colquitt agreed to a reduced salary for 2015, the Broncos announced they waived punter/kicker Karl Schmitz and brought back defensive tackle Sione Fua.
Schmitz, a 28-year-old rookie punter who gained a following with his kicks on YouTube, signed with the Broncos in March but hadn't played a game since 2008.
Special teams coach Joe DeCamillis reiterated Tuesday that the team didn't want to keep four players for kickoffs, and with Colquitt having signed a restructured deal, his place appeared to be secure for the season.
"It stresses your roster in other places," DeCamillis said.
