Connor Barth signs with Broncos

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Wilmington native Connor Barth is heading back to the NFL.

Barth has signed with the Denver Broncos, who waived kicker Brian McManus earlier today. The team announced the moves this afternoon.

Barth, a Hoggard High School and UNC alum, had been out of work since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut him in the preseason. Barth has been trying to come back from an Achilles injury at a charity basketball game in Wilmington two summers ago.
