Kicker in the NFL SHOULD be an easy to fill position. How are there not 32 guys in America who wanna make a few million a year for kicking a ball well ... there should be a ton of great kickers who can handle it ... but there aren'tWHO CARES why it says paper jam when there is no paper jam?

There was NOTHING stopping the Lions from looking and trying out people WHILE they had one. Hell, that's how they found Prater to begin with, while Hanson was still on the roster.
At the end of the day, I just don't think Campbell or Holmes put much emphasis on the position. They figured they'd mostly be going for it on 4th down in those situations where a big leg could potentially get them three, so they let Prater go. Then Campbell found himself in such a situation, and realized it's a LOT harder to slap his nuts on the table than he thought.
It cost them, and it's going to keep costing them.Lions Fans.
Demanding Excellence since Pathetic Patricia Piddled the Pooch!

Yeah, because they kept a guy who went 8/8 from 50+ that year.

This is where the Gonz argument came from, he always wanted to be cheap on the kicker and argued they should have moved on from Lion Legend Jason Hanson.
To me if you are rebuilding, a good kicker is really important because odds are you are going to need one to squeak out some victories while you are rebuilding.

Brockers in 2021 had a 40. That is the guy they traded for and then gave him a 3 year 24 million contract. Last month they restructured to add 2 million more to the dead cap hit.
When you spend that money, he needs to be an impact player.
Hutchinson is the 40th highest paid DL(25th DE) in the league, Brockers is next at 47 (19th DT), Harris is at 57(34th DE), then the next 3 are in the hundreds and 2 of them haven’t played a game this year.
It seems like they were putting all their hopes on Hutchinson, Onwuzurike, and Paschal"This is an empty signature. Because apparently carrying a quote from anyone in this space means you are obsessed with that person. "

For example off the top of my head. The kicker from Maryland drilled a couple 50 yarders like it was nothing.
