Three teams that could pursue McManus to add veteran competition are highlighted: the Las Vegas Raiders, who recently released Daniel Carlson and added Matt Gay and undrafted rookie Kansei Matsuzawa to bolster their kicking room; the Buffalo Bills, who faced stability concerns after Tyler Bass struggled prior to an extended injury, with Matt Prater providing a temporary fix while Bass seeks to prove himself; and the Philadelphia Eagles, who continue to back Jake Elliott despite recent misses and could benefit from bringing in McManus to create real competition for 2026.
Key takeaways:
– McManus is expected to draw interest from teams seeking reliable kicking depth after being released by Green Bay.
– Potential destinations emphasized include the Raiders, Bills, and Eagles, each needing stronger competition at kicker.
– The move underscores a broader shift in evaluating kicking reliability and the value of competition at the position.
