Packers Face Friday Deadline for Brandon McManus Roster Bonus

The Green Bay Packers must decide by Friday, March 13th, whether to pay kicker Brandon McManus a $1 million roster bonus. While general manager Brian Gutekunst has stated an expectation for McManus to return, the team has been active in cutting costs this offseason. If the bonus is paid, it is highly likely McManus will remain the team's kicker for the 2026 season following his 95.2 percent field goal accuracy in 2024.
