The Detroit Lions are wasting little time securing Matt Prater's replacement. According to the NFL Network, the Lions are nearing a deal with veteran kicker Randy Bullock Thursday evening. The player added credibility to the report, sharing it on Twitter.
Communications to Bullock's representation weren't immediately returned.
A fifth-round draft pick in 2012, Bullock, 31, spent his first four years with the Houston Texans. After short stints with the Jets, Steelers and Giants, he landed in Cincinnati in the late stages of the 2016 season and stuck the next four years.
In Cincinnati, Bullock was highly accurate, converting nearly 85 percent of his field-goal attempts.
