KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The Kansas City Chiefs and kicker Harrison Butker have agreed on a contract extension that makes the three-time Super Bowl champion the highest-paid kicker in the NFL.
Butker, 29, announced on social media Monday that he’d agreed to a four-year deal. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the deal keeps Butker in Kansas City through the 2028 season.
The Georgia Tech product has been a part of all three Super Bowl-winning Chiefs teams in the past five seasons. In Super Bowl LVIII, Butker made the longest field goal in Super Bowl history.
This off-season, Butker made headlines after giving a controversial commencement speech at Benedictine College. In the fallout, Butker’s jersey became one of the most popular jerseys in the NFL.
NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport said Butker represented himself in the negotiations.

Sad day for pinkos.
Indeed. We find ourselves in an America where Harrison Butker and JD Vance are “weirdos” while Richard “Rachel” Levine, Pete Booty Judge and Sam Brinton are “normal.”
“Controversial” means “Leftists don’t like it”.
One of the few NFL players with the intelligence to actually do so.
IF he represented himself-—he saved the 10% agent fee.
That paragraph will be in every story written about him.
Glad to hear this!
Can he drop kick Nancy Pelosi?
That’s gonna leave a mark.
A bright star in a dark universe. Thank You Chiefs. Stay the course.

Did they just tell us he’s becoming the highest-paid kicker without telling us what he’ll be paid? What kind of reporting is that?
