The Tennessee Titans agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal with free-agent kicker Michael Badgley on Tuesday and waived kickers Caleb Shudak and Trey Wolff in corresponding moves. Shudak and Wolff had been competing for the kicking job in training camp and the preseason, but the Titans will now go with Badgley, at least to start the year. Badgley was released by the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders this summer. The 28-year-old made 20 of 24 field-goal attempts as the Detroit Lions' primary kicker last year. He's also spent time with the Colts, Chargers and Bears in his career and has an 81.7% success rate on his 115 kicking attempts over five NFL seasons. Badgley should be left to the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues to begin the year.

Washington Commanders kicker Michael Badgley was released by the team on Sunday, meaning veteran kicker Joey Slye will handle the kicking duties for the third consecutive season. Slye finished outside the top 20 in total fantasy scoring among kickers in each of the last two seasons, so he won't be on the fantasy radar until further notice.
