BREAKING: Detroit Lions Set To Sign Highly-Coveted Free Agent Green Bay Packers Showed Interest In

The Green Bay Packers lose a highly coveted free agent to the Detroit Lions. The Lions are looking to add a new player to help put points on the table this coming season. With OTAs completed this week, teams will prepare their 90-man rosters for next month’s training camp.The Packers have a major position battle at kicker. Anders Carlson struggled in his rookie season with the Packers. That offseason, the Packers brought in former Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph and free agent Jack Podlesny to invite Carlson to the roster.The Packers didn’t seem happy about the three when it was learned they wanted a visit with UFL star Jake Bates. As previously discussed on WSH, the Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens and Lions have requested a meeting with Bates this week:Bates had a great year for the Michigan Panthers. He made 17 of 22 field goals in the regular season. His long was 64 yards. The Arkansas standout was originally signed by the Houston Texans through 2023 but was released in training camp last year.Bates played a key role in the Panthers’ 31-18 loss to the Birmingham Stallions on Saturday. He made 4 of 6 field goals, including a 53-yarder. Bats hit the opening kickoff in the second quarter. He threw the ball out of bounds for the score, which would have given the Stallions the ball at the 50-yard line. The Stallions would score a touchdown on the next play..
