When it comes to potential contract extensions for Detroit Lions players this offseason, the conversation has surrounded just two players: Kenny Golladay and Taylor Decker. However, those aren’t the only two key players entering a contract year in 2020.
Matt Prater is entering the final year of the three-year extension he signed with the Lions back in 2017. That’s no minor thing, as we all remember what happened when the Lions moved on from Jason Hanson after the 2012 season. If you don’t remember, here’s a quick reminder: David Akers went just 19-of-24 in 2013, then after drafting a kicker in 2014, the Lions went just 4-of-12 on field goals until Prater fell into their lap midseason.
