Los Steelers acuerdan una extensión de cuatro años con el pateador Chris Boswell

Los Pittsburgh Steelers han firmado al veterano pateador Chris Boswell una extensión de contrato por cuatro años y 28 millones de dólares. El acuerdo iguala a Boswell con el pateador de los Dallas Cowboys, Brandon Aubrey, como el pateador mejor pagado de la NFL, con un promedio de 7 millones de dólares por año.

El acuerdo fue reportado el 11 de mayo por Adam Schefter de ESPN. Boswell, quien entraba en el último año de su contrato anterior, ahora tiene contrato con los Steelers hasta la temporada 2030. El jugador de 35 años ha sido el pateador principal del equipo desde que firmó en 2015, después de no ser seleccionado en el draft al salir de la Universidad de Rice.
