Washington Commanders Release Kicker Cade York After Season Opener Misses

York's release voids trade terms with the Browns; team set to sign new kicker amid ongoing search

The Washington Commanders released kicker Cade York after he missed two field goals in the season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
York's release voids the trade agreement with the Cleveland Browns, which required him to be on the roster for at least two games before a draft pick exchange.
Washington currently has no kicker on the roster, though it is expected to sign veteran kicker Austin Seibert as York's replacement.
York's struggles continue from his rookie season with the Browns, where he made 24 of 32 field goal attempts and was later waived.
Head coach Dan Quinn hinted at changes following the disappointing performance, leading to York's release.
