The Packers released veteran kicker Brandon McManus on Friday, ESPN reported.
Green Bay drafted Florida kicker Trey Smack in the sixth round last month.
McManus, 34, made 24 of 30 field goals and 32 of 33 extra points in his second season with the Packers in 2025.
He missed both of his field-goal attempts (55 and 44 yards) in a 31-27 wild-card playoff loss at rival Chicago.
A Super Bowl 50 champion with Denver, McManus played nine seasons with the Broncos (2014-22) and one with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2023) before joining the Packers.
McManus ranks fifth among active players in points (1,265) and fifth in field goals made (297). He has made 51 field goals of 50-plus yards, including a career-long 61-yarder in 2021.
Smack, 22, converted 53 of 64 field goals (82.8%) and 100 of 101 PATs during his four seasons with the Gators.
