Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker waves to the fans as he walks to the field at the start of practice Saturday.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who made the winning field goal in Kansas City’s Super Bowl victory two years ago, agreed on a four-year contract extension that makes him the highest-paid kicker in the NFL.

Butker announced the deal on X, saying: “There’s no place I’d rather be than with the Chiefs, excited to finalize a 4 year extension. To the Heights!”

ESPN reported Butker is receiving a $25.6 million extension that includes $17.75 million guaranteed.
