The Facts: McManus, the last remaining player from the team's Super Bowl 50 champion squad, was released by the team Tuesday. McManus announced the move on social media, which was followed a short time later by the team's official announcement. Several players told ESPN on Tuesday morning as they were preparing for the team's first OTA practice that they had reached out to McManus, who said in a Twitter post that there would be "more to come in the following days."

Diehards Line: After years of turnover throughout the roster and on the coaching staff since the organization's third Super Bowl win to close out the 2015 season, 31-year-old McManus -- he will turn 32 in late July -- was the only player left on the roster who played on that team. McManus was 28-of-36 (77.8%) in field goal attempts last season, his first year since 2017 that he made under 80% of his field goal attempts. He was not alone in having some struggles, as the Broncos finished the year as the league's lowest-scoring offense. McManus had two years remaining on a four-year extension he signed in 2020 and was scheduled to count $4.98 million against the salary cap. McManus is an NFL Players Association vice president and a member of the organization's executive board.
