Chicago Bears agree to new deal with kicker Cairo Santos

The Chicago Bears have agreed to a five-year, $16 million extension with place kicker Cairo Santos, sources told ESPN.

The final two years of the deal are voidable, sources said, which would brng it to a three-year deal at $11 million maximum.

Santos took advantage of his opportunity after Eddy Pineiro injured his groin in August, making 30 of 32 field goals and 36 of 37 extra points.

He set a franchise record for consecutive field goals made and gave the Bears the stability they'd been seeking since they cut Robbie Gould before the 2016 season.
