After being cut Tuesday by the Denver Broncos, Brandon McManus now lands as an option for the Detroit Lions to upgrade their kicker spot.
It’s rare for a kicker to spend his entire NFL career with one team. Up until Tuesday that’s what Brandon McManus had done, landing with the Denver Broncos in 2014 and being there ever since. But according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and McManus himself, the veteran kicker has been released.
A surprise: the Broncos informed kicker Brandon McManus, the last remaining member of Denver’s last Super Bowl team, and the man who has kicked for the team since 2014, that they are releasing him, per sources.
