The Washington Commanders wanted to bring in some competition for Joey Slye this year and they signed Michael Badgley to push the incumbent kicker. Badgley had finished the previous season as the Detroit Lions kicker, and had been on several other teams previously as an injury replacement. His leg was not as strong as Slye’s, and he was seen as a long shot to supplant Slye this year.
This competition seemed one-sided from the jump based on Badgely's limited leg strength. But giving Slye a challenger not a bad move. https://t.
