Bengals, Evan McPherson agree to massive contract extension

The Cincinnati Bengals have completed the expected extension with kicker Evan McPherson.

Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, it’s a three-year, $16.5 million extension that gives him $10 million in new money over the first year of the deal.

McPherson has been a star for the Bengals since arriving via the fifth round in 2021. He’s posted a perfect playoff mark of 19-for-19 and has made 21 kicks of 50-plus yards, the most ever for a kicker over his first three seasons.

To date, McPherson has only missed seven kicks of 50-plus yards and overall has made 83.9 percent of his attempts.

McPherson’s rookie contract was set to expire after the 2024 season.
