Brandon McManus replacements: 5 best kickers Commanders should pursue feat. Jake Bates

Is Jake Bates an option to replace Brandon McManus at the Commanders?

#2, Mason Crosby

The first of two Super Bowl winners on this list, Mason Crosby is one of the greatest players in Green Bay Packers history. He is the team's highest-scoring player ever and had the most points by any player in 2007.

But in 2023, amid a youth revolution, he was not renewed. He spent time with the Los Angeles Rams' practice squad before joining the New York Giants. And now, despite being 40, he may still hold some value to the Commanders.
