According to multiple reports, Harrison Butker and the Chiefs have agreed to a four-year extension to keep him under contract through 2028.

The initial numbers indicate Butker’s deal is worth $25.6 million with $17.75 million guaranteed, which makes Butker the NFL’s highest-paid kicker. Butker represented himself in the negotiations.

Butker was entering the last year of a contract extension he signed in 2019.

A seventh-round pick in 2017, Butker has become one of the league’s best kickers over the last seven seasons. In 2023, he hit 33-of-35 field goals and all 38 of his extra points. He was also 11-of-11 on field goals and 8-of-8 on extra points in four postseason games.

For his career, Butker has hit 89 percent of his 221 field goal attempts and 94.5 percent of his 327 extra points.

Proably the best kicker in the NFL, surely the best kicker in bad weather games and in big games.

I want him to lose(49er fan here). I’m just glad he’s out there. Handsome fella. Rich too!

One of a man’s first jobs is to make his wife’s friends jealous. Let them know he’s one happy fella.

Big Butker fan, but Justin Tucker is the best kicker of all time, and I favor the oldsters when it is plausible. Tucker also plays his home games in an open air four-season stadium (Baltimore).

Who cares?

People who follow football care. There are entire stations devoted to discussing these sorts of things for hours a day. Harrison Butker is one of the greatest kickers to ever play the game.

Justin Tucker is a the greatest placekicker to play the game. The people who care ultimately pay the millions of dollars these men make, either directly or by advertisers paying for access to the people who care.

Justin Tucker:

“Some people think it must be tough maintaining a Christ-centered life in the NFL, or in any pro sport for that matter, but I’ve found it to be quite the opposite. I know, without a doubt, how fortunate I am to do what I do, and I am very grateful for my opportunities. All these blessings make me think of the One who gave them to me.”

Harrison Butker:

“Now is the time for you to take up your task, as men of the church to fight this battle for our nation, to bring Christ back to our daily lives”

Agreed (although it helps when the crowd supports you). My point is that both of these excellent kickers play in open stadiums in four season cities with real winters (not as real as Buffalo or Green Bay, but real enough). They aren't playing indoors or in a stadium with other attributes that assists the kicker (e.g. Mile High in Denver).
