“It’s a nostalgic place here. It’s an honor to play for this organization. I think a lot of people wear that on their sleeve and they want to play well.

“If it works out here, that would be great. But right now, there’s unfinished business here for me the rest of this season.”

In that same report, Packers defensive tackle Kenny Clark was quoted as saying, “He’s just given us so much stability at that position. When he comes in, you pretty much know it’s going to be good. I hope he’s here a long time.”

And so, it sounds like Green Bay would certainly welcome McManus back in 2025, and it appears that he is open to a return as well. But money talks, and there are many teams with deep pockets that may be willing to make McManus one of the highest-paid kickers in the game.

That may be enough to convince him to the leave the team that gave him a second chance.
