Broncos sign kicker Brandon McManus to four-year, $17.2M extension

The Broncos are holding on to Brandon McManus for the foreseeable future. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the veteran kicked has signed a four-year extension with Denver. The deal is worth $17.2M with $9.5M in guaranteed money.

The 29-year-old was traded from the Giants to the Broncos prior to the 2014 campaign, and McManus has unexpectedly become one of the most accurate kickers in franchise history. He ranks second in Broncos history in field-goal percentage (81.5 percent), and he holds the franchise record for best postseason field-goal percentage.

McManus is also 11 field goals away from jumping both Matt Prater and Jim Turner for second-most field goals made in franchise history, and he currently sits fifth on the Broncos’ all-time scoring list. Of course, McManus already earned a spot in Broncos lore after connecting on all 10 of his field-goal attempts during the Broncos’ run to a Super Bowl championship.

McManus was productive once again in 2019. He connected on 29 of his 34 field goal attempts, and he was a perfect 15-of-15 from within the 40. The veteran also connected on 25 of his 26 extra-point tries.
