グリーンベイ・パッカーズは金曜日、ベテランキッカーのブランドン・マクマナスを解雇した。これにより、ドラフト6巡目指名の新人トレイ・スマックが即座に同ポジションを引き継ぐことになる。
グリーンベイは2026年のNFLドラフトで、シアトル・シーホークスからドラフト7巡目指名権2つをトレードで獲得し、全体216位でスマックを指名した。この動きは、2024年シーズンに21回中20回成功と好成績を残したマクマナスが、2025年シーズンには30回中24回のフィールドゴール成功にとどまるなど苦戦したことを受けてのものだ。マクマナスの在籍期間は、シカゴ・ベアーズに敗れたワイルドカード戦での不調により幕を閉じた。同試合で彼はフィールドゴールを2回、エクストラポイントを1回外していた。
