Schefter relayed the transaction on McAfee’s program, noting the timing of the release in relation to the club’s draft pick, the report says. The draft selection of Smack, identified in the report as a Florida kicker taken in the sixth round, preceded the decision to move on from McManus.
The report links the roster move directly to the franchise’s choice in the draft, without additional detail about roster structure or subsequent steps. Schefter’s account to McAfee frames the release as an immediate consequence of the team adding a kicker through the draft, per the report.
