Lions Lose A Megastar To Michigan Panthers…

The Detroit Lions were among the clubs interested in kicker Jake Bates, which was not surprising given that the Michigan Panthers’ UFL season concluded last weekend. He received a visit on Tuesday, and Aaron Wilson of Houston’s KPRC reported on Friday night that the Lions were expected to sign him.

It’s said a deal is done. The Lions and Bates have reached an agreement on a two-year contract, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday morning, citing Bates’ agency. The financial details are unknown, and it’s important to remember that UFL players cannot formally sign with NFL teams until Tuesday.

On the surface, however, the duration is two years.

Wilson claimed that Bates had also visited the Packers and Commander and that three other NFL teams were interested in him.
