Justin Tucker agrees to record-setting contract extension with Ravens
Justin Tucker is considered by many to be the best kicker in the NFL and one of the greatest the sport has ever seen, and the Baltimore Ravens are giving him a new contract that reflects that.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Tucker and the Ravens have agreed to a four-year, $23.05 million extension that includes $12.5 million fully guaranteed. The contract is the richest ever for an NFL kicker.

Tucker is currently the most accurate kicker in NFL history, as he has converted on 90.114 percent of his kicks since entering the league in 2012. The next closest is Robbie Gould, who has made 87.745 percent.
Although he experienced one of the most stunning moments of his career in 2018 (and not in a good way), Tucker is still as good as it gets. If you’re going to pay a kicker big bucks, he’s the guy you want to have.
