The Detroit Lions have added some competition at place kicker.
After his weekend tryout with the Lions, Detroit has signed free agent kicker John Parker Romo. He was in Detroit on a tryout basis with the rookie minicamp.
Romo comes from the XFL’s San Antonio Brahmas, whose season recently ended. Romo converted 17 of his 19 field goal attempts for the Brahmas, including a 57-yarder.
He will challenge Michael Badgley in training camp. Badgley was the Lions kicker for most of 2022 and re-signed as a free agent early in the offseason.
