Brandon McManus is getting a contract with a new NFL team just days after he was acquitted in a sexual assault case

NFL kicker Brandon McManus has signed a one-year contract with the Green Bay Packers after his sexual harassment lawsuit was acquitted last month.

In May, it was reported that two flight attendants claimed McManus “rubbed up against them” on a Jacksonville Jaguars flight to London last September.

On September 30, it was announced that the NFL believed the evidence was insufficient to discipline McManus, even though he was cut by his previous team, the Washington Commanders.

Now McManus has found a new landing spot in the NFL, signing a one-year deal with the Packers.

He is expected to kick for the team in Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.

McManus, who had a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Washington Commanders through May, strenuously denied the allegations when they surfaced in May.

“To be clear, these are entirely fabricated and demonstrably false allegations made as part of a campaign to defame and disparage a talented and respected NFL player,” McManus’ legal team Brett R. Gallaway, Partner, McLaughlin & Stern said in a statement Opinion Opinion.

“We intend to aggressively defend Brandon’s rights and integrity and clear his name by showing what these claims truly are – an extortion attempt.”

The Jags played two games in London during the 2023 season, on October 1 against the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley Stadium and on October 8 against the Buffalo Bills at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. McManus played in both games.

According to the lawsuit, the Jaguars flew to the United Kingdom on a chartered flight from Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings on September 28, 2023, and the two women worked as flight attendants for the team.

They claim the trip “quickly turned into a party” and that McManus and several other players “disregarded flight attendants’ privacy, airline safety and federal law.”

Two flight attendants said McManus tried to kiss one of them and rubbed and rubbed against both of them while he worked. Pictured: The Jags on their flight to London on September 28th

One of the women – identified only as Jane Doe I – accuses McManus of trying to kiss her while she was seated during a period of turmoil and twice rubbing against her as she served meals to passengers.

The second woman – Jane Doe II – claims McManus rubbed against her while she was serving the second of the flight’s two meals before confronting him – only for him to “grin and walk away.”

Last season, the NFL star earned $2 million on his one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars after being released by the Denver Broncos.

In 2023, he made 30 of his 37 field goal attempts and all 35 of his extra point attempts.
