The Green Bay Packers’ most sought-after free agent in the upcoming class very well might be kicker Brandon McManus. McManus, according to Pro Football Focus, was the 12th-ranked kicker in the NFL in 2024 with a field goal and extra point grade of 81.6.
For perspective, only one other free agent, Nick Folk of the Tennessee Titans, bested McManus’ grade. Below are how the other unrestricted free agent kickers, according to Spotrac, rank in Pro Football Focus’ regular season and postseason grades:
- Nick Folk: 7th
- Matt Prater: 13th
- Joey Slye: 19th
- Zane Gonzalez: 22nd
- Eddy Pineiro: 32nd
- Austin Seibert: 34th
- Greg Joseph: 36th
Among the players who are starting caliber (top 32 in the league), Matt Prater and Zane Gonzalez were less than full-time starters in 2024.
