Denver Broncos Part Ways with Last Remaining Member of 2015 Super Bowl Team

Brandon McManus Cut After Seven Seasons in Denver

The Denver Broncos have parted ways with kicker Brandon McManus, the last remaining member of their 2015 Super Bowl-winning team. The Broncos made the decision to cut McManus in May after seven seasons with the team. McManus was a reliable kicker for the Broncos, making 84.6% of his field goal attempts and 94.7% of his extra point attempts. He also holds the Broncos' record for the longest field goal, a 61-yarder he made in 2019.

However, McManus's performance declined in recent seasons. He made just 72.7% of his field goal attempts in 2021, and his longest field goal was just 53 yards.

The Broncos have not yet announced who will replace McManus as their kicker. They could sign a free agent, such as former Broncos kicker Matt Prater, or they could draft a kicker in the upcoming NFL Draft.

McManus's Departure Marks the End of an Era for the Broncos

McManus's departure marks the end of an era for the Broncos. He was the last remaining member of the team's Super Bowl 50 championship team, and his departure signals the end of a chapter in Broncos history.

The Broncos have a lot of young talent on their roster, and they are hoping to make a run at the Super Bowl in 2022. McManus's departure will be a blow to the team, but it could also be an opportunity for a young kicker to step up and make a name for himself.
