Lions acquire kicker Patterson in trade with Jaguars

The Detroit Lions have a three-man kicking competition on tap after acquiring kicker RILEY PATTERSON from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday for a conditional 2026 seventh-round draft pick. Patterson made 13 of 14 field goals with the Lions in 2021 but lost a camp battle with AUSTIN SEIBERT for the kicking job last summer. After Seibert struggled early last season, the Lions replaced him with fellow kicker MICHAEL BADGLEY, who will now compete with Patterson. The third man in the mix is JOHN PARKER ROMO, who spent the spring kicking for the San Antonio Brahmas of the XFL and joined the Lions earlier this month after a tryout at rookie minicamp.
