The Seattle Seahawks have signed one of the best kickers in the NFL.
They officially announced the extension for kicker Jason Myers via Twitter on Wednesday night.
This comes after Myers went electric during the 2022 season. He made 34 of 37 field goals and 42 of 41 extra points to help the Seahawks make the playoffs for the second time in the last three seasons.
To say Seahawks fans are excited would be a huge understatement.
“A reasonable 4-year $21.4 million deal that goes up to $22.6 million. That would make him the second highest paid kicker, but considering his $5 million cap hit in 2022, it’s in the same neighborhood. Good deal!” Congratulations to her!” read one tweet.
Myers will now be the second highest earning kicker in the league behind Justin Tucker. Chris Boswell of the Pittsburgh Steelers held that position before Myers agreed to the deal.
