Pro Bowl kicker Chris Boswell sign five-year contract with Pittsburgh Steelers

Terms were not disclosed, but multiple reports peg the deal's value at just under $20 million. Boswell was scheduled to make $2.9 million in 2018 after signing his restricted free agent tender this offseason.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed Pro Bowl kicker Chris Boswell to a new five-year contract, the team announced Thursday.

Terms were not disclosed, but multiple reports peg the deal's value at just under $20 million. Boswell was scheduled to make $2.9 million in 2018 after signing his restricted free agent tender this offseason.

Stephen Gostkowski ($4.3 million annually), Graham Gano ($4.25 million), Justin Tucker ($4.2 million), Mason Crosby ($4.025 million) and Ryan Succop ($4 million) are the league's only kickers to average at least $4 million annually.

Boswell, 27, hit 35 of 38 (92.1 percent) field-goal attempts -- including all four attempts from 50-plus yards and four game-winners -- and 37 of 39 PATs (94.9 percent) last season while earning his first career Pro Bowl nod. The three-year veteran has made 89.5 percent of field-goal tries and 97.1 percent of PATs since joining the Steelers in October 2015.

Pittsburgh gave him a second-round tender as a restricted free agent this offseason, dissuading other teams from signing Boswell to an offer sheet.
