Cut by Buffalo
The Bills cut Badgley from the practice squad Monday.
ANALYSIS
Badgley has kicked in each of the last two games for Buffalo, and he's missed an extra point in each contest. Sunday's blocked PAT against the Eagles proved pivotal, as it helped keep Buffalo out of the win column, with coach Sean McDermott opting instead to attempt a game-winning two-point conversion at the end of the fourth quarter rather than putting Badgley back out there for another extra-point attempt.

2019
Badgley was the Chargers' kicker from 2018 to 2020, then bounced around to four different teams in 2021 and 2022, eventually landing in Detroit where he subsequently spent most of 2023 on the practice squad. He finally got another chance late in 2023, replacing a struggling Riley Patterson in Week 15 and making all seven of his field-goal attempts (plus 24 of 26 PATs) across four regular-season games and three playoff appearances. Badgley looked like the favorite to handle Detroit's kicking work heading into training camp, but he then suffered a season-ending hamstring tear during the first week of summer practice. He'll focus on rehab this fall and hope to bounce back in 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Team adds big-legged kicker
Badgley faces additional competition for a roster spot, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that kicker Jake Bates signed a two-year contract with the Lions on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Bates has been impressive kicking in the UFL, where his first kick was a game-winning 64-yard field goal. He has made three kicks of 60-plus yards and 17 of 22 field-goal attempts overall. Badgley made all four of his field-goal attempts in four games with the Lions in 2023 but missed two of 15 PAT tries. Bates' bigger leg could give the newcomer the advantage in a kicking competition that may not be decided until after the preseason.
