The Baltimore Ravens know they have arguably the greatest kicker in the history of the league on their roster. And they don’t intend to let that change anytime soon.
On Monday, the Ravens announced that they have agreed to a four-year extension with their star kicker Justin Tucker. The 32-year-old player is now under contract with Baltimore through the 2027 NFL season.
“It means the world to me to continue my career here in Baltimore,” said Tucker after the news became official. “It’s truly special to know I’ll be accounted for, for the next six seasons.”
The Ravens didn’t disclose the financial terms of the deal, but Tucker reportedly remains the highest-paid kicker in NFL. The extension is worth $24 million, which translates to a $6 million annual salary. This is $1 million more than the next guy on the list.
Justin Tucker has been an epitome of consistency since entering the league as an undrafted free agent out of Texas in 2012. He converted 326 field goals out of 358 attempted, with his 91.1 percent conversion being the league record. He also holds the NFL’s record for the longest field goal ever made at 66 yards.
Tucker has made five Pro Bowls and received five First-team All-Pro honors during his career. He also has a Super Bowl ring with the Ravens after helping the franchise win Super Bowl XLVII.
