Contract details of Michael Badgley, Mathieu Betts reveal low commitment from Lions

The Detroit Lions offseason is underway, and last week they kicked things off with a couple of noteworthy signings.

First, the Lions signed CFL Most Outstanding Defensive Player Mathieu Betts to a one-year deal. It’s a fascinating signing, as Detroit’s pass rush needs a boost, but it’s unclear how effective Betts will be at the next level. Later that week, the Lions re-signed kicker Michael Badgley after he finished the season as the team’s starter.

Let’s take a closer look at each players’ contract details and what it means about their future with the Lions.
