The Washington Commanders recently terminated their contract with kicker Brandon McManus following allegations of sexual assault. McManus is being accused by two women of making unwanted sexual advances, including grinding against them without consent, during a Jacksonville Jaguars team flight to London in September 2023, while he was still with the Jaguars. The lawsuit also names the Jaguars organization for failing to supervise McManus and not providing a safe environment for staff【6†source】【7†source】.

The Commanders issued a brief statement confirming the release of McManus, and his attorney has denied the allegations, calling them false and part of an extortion attempt【7†source】.
