Packers Bold Move: Rookie Kicker Trey Smack Takes Center Stage The Green Bay Packers have made a daring move, releasing veteran kicker Brandon McManus and fully committing to rookie Trey Smack. Despite McManus struggles in the 2025 season, including missed field goals and injuries, the Packers are confident in Smacks potential. Smacks impressive college tape, showcasing distance power and cleaner mechanics, has earned him the backing of franchise great Mason Crosby. Last season, Smack nailed eight of ten field goals from forty-plus yards, including four of five from fifty or more. The Packers trade-up for Smack indicates their full commitment, setting the stage for him to own the kicker position from day one.
