Steelers Sign Star Kicker Chris Boswell to Contract Extension
The Pittsburgh Steelers have gotten a big extension done ahead of OTAs.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Steelers and kicker Chris Boswell have come to terms on a four-year, $28 million deal that will keep him with the team through the 2030 campaign.
Steelers have agreed to terms with K Chris Boswell on a four-year, $28 million extension. The $7 million average per year ties him with Brandon Aubrey for highest paid kicker in NFL history, per CAA Football. Boswell is now locked in with the Steelers through the 2030 season.

Boswell's new contract is identical to the extension Brandon Aubrey signed with the Dallas Cowboys earlier this offseason, tieing them for the biggest deals for a kicker in NFL history.
The 35-year-old held in during training camp last offseason in hopes of securing a better deal, though nothing came to fruition at that time.
Now, the second-longest tenured Steeler behind Cameron Heyward is getting rewarded. His prior contract, which he was entering the final year of, made him the 10th-highest-paid kicker in the league with an average annual value of $5 million.
The two-time Pro Bowler is in his 12th year with Pittsburgh. Boswell's field goal percentage for his career currently sits at 87.7%, while his extra point percentage is at 95.7%.
In 2025, he made 27 of his 32 field goal attempts and 42 of his 43 extra point tries.
