The Baltimore Ravens and kicker Justin Tucker have agreed on a four-year contract extension worth up to $24 million. This deal includes $17.5 million guaranteed and an $11.5 million signing bonus. He is once again the highest-paid kicker in NFL history. Tucker is widely regarded as one of, if not the best, kickers in NFL history. The Baltimore Ravens lock up their All-Pro kicker for four more years and once again separate him from the pack of other NFL kickers. It is very likely Tucker will be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame shortly after he retires.

In his career with the Baltimore Ravens, Justin Tucker has 326 of his 358 field goal attempts and 382 of his 386 extra point attempts. While no kicker is perfect, Tucker has come closer than any other player in NFL history. He is a five-time Pro Bowler, a five-time All-Pro kicker, and helped the team win Super Bowl XLVII. There aren’t many kicking records that Tucker does not currently own for himself in the NFL.
Justin Tucker is the NFL’s most accurate FG kicker ever (91.061%).

He’s *never* missed a kick in the final minute of regulation.
A machine.

A competent field goal kicker is vital for an NFL team that has goals of making the NFL Playoffs and winning games once they get there. Justin Tucker is arguably the best to ever do it at his position and the Baltimore Ravens reward him for his work and accuracy. Now the team can refocus on winning games with a potentially massive Lamar Jackson extension looming in the distance.
