Cade York’s tenure in Washington was very short-lived, as the Commanders released the placekicker after a brutal opening game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

The NFL is a business, and players understand that it can be cutthroat even if you do make the roster out of training camp. 

York felt that on Monday when the Commanders released him after he missed two field goals in the 37-20 loss.

York, a fourth-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in the 2022 NFL Draft, missed wide right on both a 56-yarder and 47-yarder on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay. 

The Commanders had a kicking battle in training camp, and York was added after they dealt a conditional seventh-round pick to the Browns to bring him in.

However, since York won’t be on the Commanders’ roster for two games this season, they don’t have to give up the pick. 

Washington already has their sights on York’s replacement, as they’re expected to sign Austin Seibert to kick heading into Week 2 against the New York Giants, according to ESPN.

"It’s certainly not ideal, but it does speak to, if it’s not right you don’t sit pat," Commanders head coach Dan Quinn told reporters, via ESPN. "We will get there. I’m disappointed."
