Following multiple bad snaps by Cheeseman in the 2023 Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos, head coach Ron Rivera announced that the team would be bringing in free agent long snappers for work outs.[6] Despite working out five different long snappers, the Commanders chose to stick with Cheeseman.[7] On December 18, 2023, he was released by the Commanders.[8] The release followed the team's Week 15 game against the Los Angeles Rams, in which Cheesman botched two snaps, one on a punt and the other on an extra point.[9]
