Rams signed K Brandon McManus to their practice squad. 2026-10-20 17:00:02 With Blake Grupe done for the season with a torn ACL, the Rams worked out McManus and Matt Prater before agreeing to terms with McManus. The 35-year-old was released by the Packers after they drafted Trey Smack in the sixth round and hasn’t had any documented interest since then. He’ll be a reasonable one-kicker league play with the Rams. |

Packers released K Brandon McManus. 2026-05-08 13:00:03 If two missed field goals and a missed extra point in last season’s Wild Card round loss to the Bears didn’t spell McManus’ impending exit, then the selection of Florida kicker Trey Smack in the sixth round of this year’s draft almost certainly did. McManus, 34, converted 24-of-30 field goals during the regular season in 2025, but struggled on distances of 40-plus yards, going 6-for-12 from that range. The decision to release McManus will carry a dead cap hit just north of $4.3 million for the Packers in 2026 and a dead cap hit of $1.66 million in 2027. McManus will likely catch on with another team before training camp and get a chance to compete for a starting job for the upcoming season. |
