The Pittsburgh Steelers are making big moves this offseason—and while the team is still waiting on quarterback Aaron Rodgers to make a decision, they've locked up a key piece of the roster for years to come. On Monday, the Steelers reportedly agreed to a massive four-year, $28 million contract extension with two-time Pro Bowl kicker Chris Boswell.

According to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic, the deal ties Boswell with Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey as the highest-paid kicker in NFL history. That's a huge statement of confidence for a player who has been the picture of consistency since joining the league.

Boswell has spent his entire 11-year career in Pittsburgh, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2017 and 2024—and earning First Team All-Pro recognition in the latter season. At 35 years old, he's showing no signs of slowing down.

In 2024, Boswell led the NFL with a career-high 41 field goals made, and he followed that up with a solid 2025 campaign, converting 27 of 32 field goal attempts. But it's not just regular-season stats that define his legacy—Boswell has been a playoff hero for Pittsburgh time and again. Over 11 career postseason games, he's a perfect 19-for-19 on field goal attempts, making him one of the most clutch kickers in NFL history.

His 299 career field goals rank fourth among active players, and his 87.68% field goal percentage places him fifth on that list. For a franchise that values stability and reliability, Boswell is the perfect fit—and this extension ensures he'll be a Steeler for years to come.
