The Cincinnati Bengals have signed kicker Evan McPherson to a three-year contract extension through the 2027 season, the team announced Sunday. It was previously reported to be a deal worth $16.5 million in new money.
McPherson, a fourth-year player, was a fifth-round NFL Draft pick of the Bengals in 2021. He has played in 49 regular-season games for Cincinnati and converted 78/93 field-goal attempts, along with 126/132 PATs. His 21 career-made field goals from 50+ yards are the most in team history, the most in NFL history in a player’s first three seasons, and tied for the most by any kicker since he entered the league in 2021.
