Tyler Bass will keep on kicking in Buffalo for the foreseeable future. The Bills announced on Friday that they had signed Bass to a four-year extension that will tie him to the franchise through the 2027 season.
The Bills didn’t reveal the financial terms of the deal, but reports suggest that the overall value is $21 million with $12.3 million in guaranteed money.
Bass was set to enter the 2023 season playing on the final year of his rookie deal that pays him $1 million this year. With the extension, Bass’ average annual salary jumps to $5.25 and makes him one of the Top 5 highest-paid players on his position.
“I’m still going to grind,” Bass said after the extension became official. “It’s just a little bit relieving, you know, you have a little bit of security. But at the end of the day, you still got to work. That’s what got me here. That’s what I’m going to keep doing as best I can.”
Tyler Bass entered the league as the Bills’ sixth-round selection in 2020. He beat veteran Stephen Hauschka for the starting job during training camp of his rookie season and never looked back. Bass has converted 85.6% of his field goal attempts and 97.5% of extra point attempts as a pro.
