JRM re-signs a two year deal...They make it sound like Lions are paying the biggest contract for a special teamer ever, but the guy can contribute alot on defense in a pinch also...last year was the best I have seen him play defesively and special teams.....glad they kept him....also didnt notice they had previously signed Badgely to a one year deal already?

I'm a little late to the kicker conversation. I decided to look up some stats for Badgley though because I'm not sure if the typical 20-29, 30-39, 40-49 and 50+ metrics tell the full story. He's 96.4%, 96.7%, 77.1% and 38.5% respectively.

I wanted to see if I could find where his cutoffs have been though. I found from 45 and under to be 95.7% 46-49 he's been 47% 50-54 is 50% and 55+ is 33%. Obviously these numbers are give or take a little with smaller sample sizes the further up you go and not including indoor vs. outdoor.

So while it may not be with 100 percent certainty, it's probably safe to say he's reliable up to 45. Beyond that, they'd probably only feel comfortable trying situationally like 4th and 4 or 5+ or end of half/game scenarios.

JRM is a good re-signing. Badgley makes sense as it's probably not with any guarantees. You definitely want to keep your options open though.

Yeah Boyz. JRM was awesome in the playoff run. By the end of the season, I kind of wanted more JRM on the field for defense.

JRM is absolutely worth that contract. He's a Special Teams leader and a great piece of their LB rotation.

If you only read the headlines for this extension you would think it was some huge number.

Towards the end of the year, JRM was like a freaking guided missile. There were plays where other players were basically dancing with the ball carrier, and then JRM would beeline straight at him as if he were standing still. I don't know if he can duplicate that again this year, but he earned that contract. I'm lowkey very happy that they re-signed him.

I hate all of these players taking their wives name but I'm glad JRM is back
