As NFL fans know, the kicking carousel keeps spinning at high speeds. Just ask journeyman kicker Michael Bagley.

Bagley, the University of Miami alum, who prior to this season has had NFL stints with the Chargers, Titans, Colts, Lions and Bears —-was released by the Lions on July 23 in what many considered to be a surprise move at the beginning of training camp —- and yesterday, Bagley was signed by the Tennessee Titans, who, in turn, promptly released both of their pre-season kickers Caleb Shudak and and Trey Wolff.
