What's next for Brandon McManus?

Brandon McManus will enter his 12th season with both individual and team targets. On that individual front, he'll look to earn his first All-Pro and/or Pro Bowl nod.

McManus will also look to reward the Packers' faith in him by contributing to a Super Bowl push. McManus won Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos, so he knows a thing or two about lifting the Lombardi Trophy.

Furthermore, McManus needs to maintain top-notch production due to his contract's low guaranteed value. The Packers could easily eat up the 5 million in guarantees if McManus's form drops in 2025 or beyond. Hence, while the contract is a major win for McManus, it's just the start of the task ahead.
