Justin Tucker, Ravens Agree on New Contract; Reportedly Will Be Highest-Paid Kicker

Staying with the Baltimore Ravens is one of the best ways to do it.

The Baltimore Ravens signed kicker Justin Tucker to a four-year contract extension on Monday.

Tucker is expected to become the highest-paid kicker in the league with a four-year, $24 million deal that will include an $11.5 million signing bonus and $17.5 million guaranteed.

Tucker has become a household name due to his ability to come through in the clutch and deliver consistent performances year after year.

A spot on the Hall of Fame All-2010s Team is one of the highlights of the 32-year-old's career. He has been Baltimore's kicker for the last 10 seasons and has led the league in made field goals in two of the last three years.

Tucker went 35-of-37 for a field goal percentage of better than 90 percent last season, which was his sixth season with a field goal percentage of better than 90 percent.

He set the NFL record with a 66-yard field goal against the Detroit Lions. Tucker kicked a long kick at the end of the game to seal the win.

John Harbaugh said after the kick that he was the best kicker in the history of the game.

Given Tucker's track record, it's hard to disagree with that assessment.

Field Yates @FieldYates

Justin Tucker is the NFL's most accurate FG kicker ever (91.061%).He owns the longest FG ever at 66 yards (to win a game as time expired).He's made 57 straight FGs in the fourth quarter/overtime. He's *never* missed a kick in the final minute of regulation.

A machine.

He is a unique weapon that allows the Ravens to score quickly. Following the contract extension, that weapon is not going away.
