Michael Badgley helped stabilize the Detroit Lions' woeful kicking game last season, and on Friday the Lions rewarded him with a new one-year contract.
Badgley made all 33 of his extra point tries and 20 of 24 field goals for the Lions last season with a long of 53 yards.
He signed with the team in October, after the Lions had cycled through nine other kickers in their attempt to replace Matt Prater.
Austin Seibert won a camp battle with Riley Patterson and opened as the Lions kicker last season, but aggravated a groin injury while missing two field goals in a Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, including a 54-yarder wide right with 1:14 to play that set up Minnesota's game-winning touchdown.
