It wasn’t too long ago that Jake Elliott looked like a broken kicker. He was missing gimme field goals while the Philadelphia Eagles quietly brought in other legs for tryouts. Then, Elliott got his mojo back in a major way and now he’s the highest-paid kicker in football.
Eagles sign Jake Elliott to record-breaking new deal
The Eagles have inked Jake Elliott to a four-year, $24 million deal, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The contract extension makes the 29-year-old the highest-paid kicker on an annual basis ($6 million per year), well the money ties him for that honor with future Hall of Famer Justin Tucker.
