RSkinGM Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 (edited) I read the news headline and went Meh , another NFL player. I'd forgotten he was our new kicker ! Damn/ !! $3.6 mill contract- what will it cost to just dump him ? It'll be months before the trial. It'll be a distraction for sure. for him and the team , everybody.

It'll depend on a lot of factors I'm sure. Commanders will do an independent investigation and go from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They likely at least go through the "process". But I think, no matter what, you got to just move on. It isn't a long time player we have a relationship with who you back up until the evidence is clear. McManus isn't even that great of a kicker. I think it becomes a 1.5M cap space mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I think we need to move on. I sure hope this doesn't come back to bite us this season. Maybe they can sign one of those UFL kickers who've looked great this spring. That's certainly something I'd do and there are always kickers out there, they just likely won't be as seasoned as McManus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only way this comes back to bite us is if we either don't cut him or it is uncovered that this was something we knew about before signing him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first field goal came from 38 yards out, but his second attempt was the one that really impressed me. Romo made this 57-yard field goal to break his own record for the Longest Field Goal in the XFL! This is an XFL record and the longest field goal made in Lumen Field history! Matthew McCrane (DC) had the highest-scoring performance we've seen from any kicker in the XFL, making 4 field goals in a row after missing his first attempt from 47 yards out. After his miss, he came back and finished the night going 4-for-5, including a 20-yarder, a 23-yarder, a 26-yarder, and a 35-yarder which was his longest completion of the night. Taylor Russolino (ARL) also impressed, jumping into the Top 3 after completing his only field goal attempt from 37 yards out! Hunter Duplessis (HOU) did not attempt any field goals this week but remains in the Fourth Position with only one miss, from over 50 yards out.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legal process takes forever. Why risk your kicker getting suspended midseason? We have no ties to this guy, he's aging and honestly mediocre. Just cut him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
