The Baltimore Ravens announced Friday that they locked up kicker Justin Tucker to a four-year contract, worth almost 17 million dollars.
Many Ravens fans were quick to laud the move, while others on social media were quick to scoff at giving (what is perceived as) so much money to a specialist.
Looking at it practically, some of that cynicism can be understood. After all, kickers rarely even step onto the field during NFL games, and when they do, their job involves no contact and is done very quickly.
But those Ravens fans who were ecstatic to hear that Tucker would be in town for at least another four years aren't worried about the numbers or the practicality that state that re-signing a kicker to big money isn't worth it.
