In a stunning turn of events, the Green Bay Packers and kicker Brandon McManus have canceled their agreement on a three-year, $15.3 million contract, including a $5 million signing bonus.
The news comes as a surprise, as reports had indicated that McManus was set to join the Packers after spending the past eight seasons with the Denver Broncos.
According to sources close to the situation, the cancellation of the agreement was a mutual decision between the team and McManus. While the exact reasons for the cancellation are unclear, it is understood that both parties decided it was in their best interests to part ways.
The cancellation of the deal leaves the Packers without a clear solution at the kicker position, a spot that had been a major concern for the team in recent seasons. McManus, who had been one of the top kickers on the market, was seen as a potential answer to the team’s kicking woes.
Meanwhile, McManus will now re-enter the free agent market, where he is likely to be a highly sought-after commodity. Despite the cancellation of the agreement with the Packers, McManus remains one of the top kickers in the NFL, and it is likely that he will find a new team in short order.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is certain: the Packers’ search for a reliable kicker will continue, while McManus will look to find a new home in the NFL.
