NFL kicker Brandon McManus released Washington Commanders sexual assault allegations

NFL kicker Brandon McManus cut by Washington Commanders after sexual assault allegations, seeking $1 million in damages, denies accusations.

NFL kicker Brandon McManus has been released by the Washington Commanders following allegations of sexual assault made by two women. The women claim that McManus assaulted them on a flight last year while he was a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The accusations include inappropriate physical contact and attempted forced kissing.

The Commanders announced the decision to release McManus in a statement, citing the serious nature of the allegations. The lawsuit filed by the women also implicates the Jacksonville organization for negligence in providing a safe work environment and monitoring player behavior.

The women are seeking over $1 million in damages and have requested a jury trial to address the matter. McManus's attorney, Brett R. Galloway, has vehemently denied the allegations, stating that they are false and unsupported by evidence.

Despite the legal battle ahead, McManus's legal team is determined to clear his name and reputation. They express disappointment in the Commanders' decision to release him before he could defend himself against the accusations. Both the Jaguars and Commanders have stated that they are investigating the situation.

McManus, who previously played for the Denver Broncos, signed with the Jaguars in 2023 before joining the Commanders on a one-year deal. Now a free agent, his future in the NFL remains uncertain as he navigates the legal challenges ahead.
