Chiefs Re-Sign Harrison Butker to a Five-Year Extension
$20.275 Million Deal Includes $3.5 Million Signing Bonus
Contract Guaranteed for $9.1 Million At Signing
The Kansas City Chiefs have re-signed kicker Harrison Butker to a five-year, $20.275 million contract extension, the team announced on Monday.
The deal includes a $3.5 million signing bonus and is guaranteed for $9.1 million at signing, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Butker, 26, has been one of the Chiefs' most consistent players since being drafted in the seventh round in 2017. He has made 88.4% of his field goal attempts and 96.2% of his extra-point attempts during his career.
Butker's new contract extension will keep him in Kansas City through the 2024 season. He is now one of the highest-paid kickers in the NFL.
The Chiefs' decision to re-sign Butker is a sign of their confidence in his abilities. He is a key piece of their offense, and his new contract ensures that he will be a part of the team for years to come.
Butker's contract is just the latest in a series of moves by the Chiefs to keep their core players in place. The team has also re-signed quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce, and wide receiver Tyreek Hill in recent months.
With Butker now under contract, the Chiefs are well-positioned to make another run at the Super Bowl in 2023.
