Chiefs Sign Kicker Harrison Butker to $25.6M Deal

The Kansas City Chiefs have secured their star kicker, Harrison Butker, with a lucrative contract extension. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs and Butker finalized a four-year deal worth $25.6 million, which includes $17.75 million guaranteed. This new contract positions Butker as the highest-paid kicker in the NFL, surpassing Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker and Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott. Butker confirmed the extension on social media, expressing his enthusiasm for remaining with the Chiefs. "There's no place I'd rather be than with the Chiefs, excited to finalize a 4-year extension," he stated, adding, "To the Heights!" The 29-year-old kicker has been a vital component of the Chiefs' success since being drafted from Georgia Tech in 2017. Throughout his career, Butker has demonstrated impressive accuracy, converting 94 percent of his extra points and 89 percent of his field goals. Last season, he successfully made all 38 extra points and missed only two field goals. His performance in the postseason was particularly noteworthy, as he achieved a perfect record, making all 11 field goals and eight extra points during the Chiefs' playoff run. Butker's contributions have been crucial in the Chiefs' recent Super Bowl victories, including a standout performance in the championship game against the San Francisco 49ers, where he scored 13 points. His extension solidifies his role as a key player in the Chiefs' ongoing pursuit of excellence.
