After the Green Bay Packers signed kicker Brandon McManus this week, general manager Brian Gutekunst told reporters that the team was "very, very comfortable" with adding him in light of sexual assault allegations made against him.

The NFL investigated the matter, reportedly interviewing more than 30 people, and found "insufficient evidence" of McManus violating the league's personal conduct policy and stated on Sept. 30 that the case was closed regarding any potential discipline for McManus.

"Last week when these things got cleared up within the league and he got past some other things, those conversations kinda picked up," Gutekunst said on Wednesday, via ESPN's Rob Demovsky.
