Veteran K Brandon McManus released by Broncos after 9 seasons

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos kicker Brandon 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."

"Brandon has been a key player and presence with the Broncos for nearly a decade, making outstanding contributions to our team and community," Broncos general manager George Paton said in a statement.
