The Cleveland Browns probably just made the Pittsburgh Steelers even more glad to have Chris Boswell. Pittsburgh’s AFC North rivals just signed kicker Dustin Hopkins to a three-year, $15.9 million deal, which is more than Boswell’s. Boswell is currently playing through a four-year, $20 million extension, which averages $300,000 less per year.
While one has to take cap inflation into account, the Steelers’ deal with Boswell continues to prove good value. He is now the ninth-highest-paid kicker following the Hopkins deal, almost all of whom signed after him in 2022. I can’t help but notice, however, that he is more accurate than all of them except Justin Tucker.
