The Baltimore Ravens announced that kicker Justin Tucker has agreed to terms on a four-year extension worth $24 million with $17.5 million guaranteed. Tucker’s contract runs through the 2027 season.

Tucker owns a career field-goal conversion rate of 91.1 percent, is both a five-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler, and he was named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team for the 2010s. The 32-year-old Tucker also  holds the NFL’s record for the longest converted field goal, crow-hopping into a 66-yard attempt inside Ford Field.

Tucker’s new deal earns him the title of the highest-paid kicker in the NFLk and comes just a week after Chris Boswell signed an extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers that had matched Tucker for being the league’s highest-paid kicker at $5 million per season.
