Detroit Lions trade for Jaguars' Riley Patterson, now have 3-man kicking competition

The Detroit Lions have a three-man kicking competition brewing.

The Lions acquired kicker Riley Patterson from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday for a conditional 2026 seventh-round draft pick.

Patterson made 13 of 14 field goals with the Lions in 2021, but lost a camp battle with Austin Seibert for the kicking job last summer.

The Jaguars claimed Patterson off waivers, and reportedly were set to waive him Thursday after signing former Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus.
