Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has agreed to a four-year deal that makes him the highest-paid kicker in the NFL, according to reports.
Butker announced the extension on X but provided no details. Unidentified sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport the contract is worth $25.6 million, including more than $17 million in guaranteed money.
“There’s no place I’d rather be than with the Chiefs, excited to finalize a 4 year extension. To the Heights!” the three-time Super Bowl champion posted on X.
The 29-year-old represented himself in negotiations, according to Schefter and Rapoport. According to ESPN, Butker’s deal would pass the $6 million per season contracts of Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens and Jake Elliott of the Philadelphia Eagles.
CNN has reached out to the Chiefs for comment.
Butker has made 89% of the field goals he has attempted in his seven-year career – second best in history – with his longest kick a 62-yarder in the 2022 season. Last season he made 33 of 35 field goal attempts. In February, he kicked a Super Bowl record 57-yarder in the third quarter as the Chiefs downed the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime.
