Evan, in a couple of years, will be another one of those guys we will have to overpay to keep.  Now, I do get overpaying for a kicker is a relative term.  But, he will be a sought-after free agent if it gets that far which will drive his price up.  He should end up as the #1 or #2 paid kicker on his next contract depending on what happens with Justin Tucker whose contract is up after the 2023 season.

That is insane leg, and quite a weapon.  However, one needs to understand that if you MISS a kick from your own 45 yard line then your opponent would have really good field position.  It becomes a debate of pin the other team deep or take the chance for the FG.  I could see them doing it on the final play of the first half, though, and it would be incredibly fun.  

As far as paying Evan goes, there is no doubt he will have a heck of a nice second contract.
