The Green Bay Packers officially welcomed back two kickers back to the fold for entirely different reasons this week.
On Wednesday, former kicker Mason Crosby informed the Packers of his decision to retire officially with the organization. He wrapped up his 16-season career with the Packers, leaving the team as its all-time leading scorer. According to the Packers, Crosby is the franchise leader in career points (1,918), field goals (395), 50-yard field goals (43), and extra points (733). It makes him one of only two players in NFL history to play in 250-plus regular-season games and score 1,900-plus points with one team.
Later that same day, K Brandon McManus signed a new deal to stay on with the Packers after joining the team after the regular season had started. Multiple sources have him signed on for over $5 million each year for three years. According to the Packers, he ranked No. 2 in the NFL in field-goal percentage (95.2, 20 of 21), the second-best single-season mark in team history (min. one attempt per game), and the top mark among Green Bay kickers with 20-plus attempts in a season. He also delivered two game-winning kicks in his first two games as a member of the team.
