Commanders Cut Brandon McManus Following Sexual Assault Lawsuit

Brandon McManus time in Washington is over before it ever got started.

The Commanders released the kicker on Sunday night after he was accused of sexual assault in a lawsuit filed last month, the team announced.

McManus, who spent his first nine seasons with the Denver Broncos, went 30-of-37 on field goals and made all of his extra points with the Jaguars last year. After the team didn’t sign him again this offseason, the Commanders scooped him up on a one-year, $3.6 million deal. He was the only kicker on the Commanders’ roster this spring.
