Kickers On The Move: McManus Released, New Team To Be Determined
Former Commanders Kicker Available on Free Agent Market
NFL Insider Rumours Point to Broncos or Jaguars
In a surprising move, the Washington Commanders have released kicker Brandon McManus. McManus, who has been with the Commanders since 2021, has struggled with consistency this season, missing several key field goals. The team has decided to part ways with McManus in search of a more reliable option.
McManus, a former Pro Bowler, is now a free agent and is expected to generate interest from multiple teams. The Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars are reportedly among the teams that are interested in signing McManus.
McManus has a strong track record in the NFL, having made 84.5% of his field goal attempts over his career. However, he has struggled in recent weeks, missing three of his last five field goal attempts. The Commanders decided that they could no longer afford to have McManus as their kicker and released him on Sunday.
The Commanders are expected to sign a new kicker in the coming days. They have several options available, including free agents Dustin Hopkins and Matt Prater. The team is also expected to consider drafting a kicker in the upcoming NFL Draft.
McManus is a valuable asset to any team, and he is expected to land with a new team soon. The Broncos and Jaguars are the two most likely teams to sign McManus, but other teams could also be interested in his services.
