Chiefs' Butker becomes NFL's highest-paid kicker
Harrison Butker's contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs makes him the highest-paid kicker in the NFL, according to reports.
Butker has penned a new, four-year deal with the Chiefs, who have won back-to-back Super Bowls.
Indeed, the 29-year-old has won three rings while with Kansas City, and converted the crucial field goal in their Super Bowl LVII victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in early 2023.
The Chiefs have now tied Butker down until 2028, with the deal reportedly worth $25.6million, with $17.75m guaranteed, more than any other NFL kicker.
"There's no place I'd rather be than with the Chiefs, excited to finalize a [four] year extension," Butker said in a post on social media. "To the Heights!"
Butker has a field goal percentage of 89.1 across his career, while he has been on the Chiefs' roster since 2017.
