OFFICIAL BRONCOS UPDATE: Denver Broncos Top and Most Value Star Cut and Released After Disagraceful Allegations

Super Bowl 50 champion Brandon McManus was dismissed by the Washington Commanders on Sunday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. This follows accusations that McManus misbehaved during a fight during the Jaguars’ 2023 trip to London, which led to the former Bronco kicker being implicated in a lawsuit filed in May.

McManus spent the 2023 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, following his time in Denver. McManus made his debut in Denver in 2014 as a rookie out of Temple and will remain there until the 2022 season. McManus is the Broncos’ second-highest scorer of all time, and his 223 field goals rank second in the team’s history.

McManus had a successful 2023 season, converting on 30 of 37 field goals and missing no extra points. His 81.1% field goal percentage was up from 77% with the Broncos in 2022, and his 100% PAT conversion rate was his best since his most recent 100% conversion season in 2018.

McManus’ stay in Jacksonville lasted only one year, as the kicker did not re-sign with the Jaguars and instead signed a one-year contract with the Commanders. McManus was released before his contract with the Commanders began, and he will now be a free agent. However, McManus is now a 32-year-old who will turn 33 before the season begins, on the slide in performance, and carrying a lot of off-the-field baggage.

With most teams set at the kicking position heading into the 2024 season, and given how late it is in the off-season to re-enter the free market, it is reasonable to wonder if we have seen the last of McManus in the NFL. While it is evident that he will not be a Commander this season, the rest of the NFL may follow suit in the near future.
