The Denver Broncos, in search of a replacement for struggling kicker Brandon McManus, reached a contract agreement with veteran Connor Barth and released McManus on Tuesday, according to a Denver Post report on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old Barth spent four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before he was released in training camp this year. He missed the 2013 season after tearing his Achilles tendon while playing basketball.

Barth’s last active season with the Bucs was in 2012, when he made 28 of 33 field goal attempts (84.8 percent).

The 23-year-old McManus missed a 33-yard field goal attempt in the Broncos’ 39-36 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday and ranks last in the NFL with a .692 field goal conversion rate, making 9 of 13 tries.
