Brandon McManus, a former NFL kicker, was in the news because of some serious accusations. He was facing two civil lawsuits for alleged misconduct during a flight with the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. But the court didn’t find enough evidence, so he was found not guilty. This means his tough time might be over.
On Monday, the NFL declared that it had “insufficient evidence” to support a finding of a violation of its code of conduct. NFL insider Adam Schefter reported, “The league concluded its investigation and found no violation of the personal conduct policy. McManus will not face any punishment and is free to pursue opportunities with other teams.”
Following the investigation, he is now a free agent and is free to sign with any team. His market value is expected to increase as teams look for experienced kickers. Over his career, McManus has made 81.4% of his field goal attempts (253 of 311) and 97.2% of his extra point attempts (312 of 321).
After signing with the Washington Commanders, Brandon McManus was let loose in June while the investigation was ongoing. Now that he has been cleared of all charges, the 33-year-old free agent is looking for new opportunities and should sign with a team soon.
What were the charges against Brandon McManus?
Brandon McManus, a football player, was accused of an allegation by two flight attendants on a team flight to London. The flight attendants sued him and the Jacksonville Jaguars, claiming a lack of a safe environment.
The NFL looked into the claims and found that there was not enough evidence to punish McManus. The women, who first used fake names, are asking for more than $1 million because they say the Jaguars didn’t supervise him properly.
McManus says he didn’t do anything wrong, and his lawyer is happy that the first lawsuit was dismissed. McManus is excited to return to the NFL.
