McManus, who signed a contract to join the Commanders this offseason, denied the allegations.
In a lawsuit, two women accused McManus of sexually assaulting them on a Jacksonville Jaguars team-charted flight to London.
The Commanders' short online announcement about McManus' release did not say why the team dropped him. CNN has sought comment from McManus' representation. Both women claim that during meal service on the flight, McManus "grinded" his erect clothed penis against them. McManus also tried to kiss one of the women earlier on the flight, according to the lawsuit."To be clear, these are absolutely fictitious and demonstrably false allegations made as part of a campaign to defame and disparage a talented and well-respected NFL player," McManus' lawyer, Brett R. Gallaway, told CNN last week.
Jacksonville is accused of "gross negligence" in, among other allegations, its failure to create a safe work environment for the flight staff.
