9:58PM: The latest update on McManus comes from Mike Florio of NBC Sports, who revealed that McManus had already received half of his $1.5MM signing bonus on his $3.6MM contract. The remaining $750K was due by June 7. The Commanders might challenge paying McManus based on his alleged failure to disclose potential civil claims, potentially leading to arbitration where Washington would retain the cap charge until resolved.

8:37PM: McManus’ representative, Brett Gallaway, has released a statement denying the allegations against his client and expressing disappointment in the team’s decision to release him before allowing him to defend himself. McManus and his team will continue to fight for his innocence.

6:52PM: Brandon McManus, signed by the Commanders three months ago, has been released following allegations of sexual assault. The Commanders decided to part ways with McManus despite his denial of the claims. This move leaves Washington without a kicker for now.

There is a possibility of legal action between McManus and the team in the future. In the meantime, McManus will focus on clearing his name and potentially returning to the NFL.
