Packers moving on from kicker The Packers are slated to release McManus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The move follows the team's selection of Trey Smack in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, with fellow kicker Lucas Havrisik also currently on Green Bay's roster. During the 2025 regular season, McManus went 24-for-30 on field-goal attempts and 32-for-33 on extra-point tries in 14 games. McManus, who turns 35 in July, thus represents an option for teams looking to bring in veteran kicking competition ahead of training camp.

Finishes 2025 season strong McManus went 24-for-30 on field-goal attempts and 32-for-33 on extra-point tries over 14 regular-season games with the Packers in 2025.

Impact McManus missed at least one kick between Weeks 2 and 4 before missing the Packers' next two games due to a right quadriceps injury. He proceeded to go 4-for-8 on field-goal attempts over his next three outings before sitting out of Week 11 against the Giants after aggravating his quad injury. That extra rest seemed to do the trick as McManus was perfect in his return, making all 13 of his field-goal attempts and each of his 16 point-after tries over the final seven games of the regular season. McManus will be on the books for the Packers for the next two seasons after signing a three-year, $15.3 million contract in March.

Scores GB's only points Week 18 McManus made his only field-goal attempt Sunday in a 16-3 loss to Minnesota.

Impact The Packers rested most of their starters and deployed Clayton Tune as their quarterback, which explains the team's paltry offensive output. McManus did prevent Green Bay from being shut out with his 24-yard FG as time expired in the fourth quarter. The veteran kicker will enter Saturday's wild-card contest against Chicago having made 24 of 30 FG tries (including going 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards) and 32 of 33 PAT attempts across 14 contests.

Makes four short kicks Week 17 McManus connected on his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during the Packers' 41-24 loss to the Ravens on Saturday.

Impact McManus' lone field goal Saturday was a 24-yard chip shot early in the third quarter to cut the Packers' deficit to 10 points. He has not missed a kick since Week 10 against the Eagles, having gone 12-for-12 on field-goal attempts (including 3-for-3 on attempts from 40-plus yards) and 16-for-16 point-after tries over his last six games.
