Steelers einigen sich mit Kicker Chris Boswell auf vierjährige Vertragsverlängerung

Die Pittsburgh Steelers haben den erfahrenen Kicker Chris Boswell mit einer vierjährigen Vertragsverlängerung im Wert von 28 Millionen US-Dollar ausgestattet. Der Vertrag macht Boswell zusammen mit dem Kicker der Dallas Cowboys, Brandon Aubrey, zum bestbezahlten Kicker der NFL, mit einem Durchschnittsgehalt von 7 Millionen US-Dollar pro Jahr.

Die Einigung wurde am 11. Mai von Adam Schefter von ESPN gemeldet. Boswell, der in das letzte Jahr seines vorherigen Vertrags gegangen wäre, steht nun bis zur Saison 2030 bei den Steelers unter Vertrag. Der 35-Jährige ist der primäre Placekicker des Teams, seit er 2015 unter Vertrag genommen wurde, nachdem er im Draft nicht berücksichtigt worden war und von der Rice University kam.
