Contract details finally emerged on the agreement between kicker Wil Lutz and the New Orleans Saints, which will make him the highest-paid kicker in NFL history. The details were first reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Saints signed Lutz to a five-year contract extension worth $20.25 million, including $9.2 million in guarantees. Only Baltimore Ravens folk hero Justin Tucker received higher guarantees than Lutz ($10.8 million), and the $4.05 million per-year number ties Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby for the fifth-highest in the NFL. Tennessee Titans kicker Ryan Succop comes closest in total value with his $20 million contract, which Lutz has now surpassed.
