Money Mac. Literally. ?

The #Bengals agreed to terms on a three-year, $16.5 million extension with K Evan McPherson, per his agents at @SPORTSTARSNYC.

McPherson will earn $10 million in new money in the first year of the deal, highest ever for a three-year kicker extension. pic.twitter.com/6OMpDepxwO

This was McPherson's contract year, so this new contract should put him under contract through 2027.
Happy to know the K situation is covered for the next 4 years.

Great news!

Nice to have him locked in.

He is an important piece, I know so are Higgins and Chase, but we forget we need 53 quality players, no one player wins a Super Bowl as the Chiefs proved when the arguably traded away the top WR in production Tyrek Hill.

It appears they are loading the deal upfront. They may assign the 2024 additional 10 million as a bonus that they can spread over 4 years, so and additional 2.5 million of cap space in 2024 leaving us with over 17 million in 2024.

I'm glad they're using the upfront money to have more to use later on other extensions.  That's a fair extensions too, given the other kicker deals I assumed they'd have to start at 6M/yr. 

This needed to be done. Evan is our best Kicker ever already. Congrats Money Mac!!!

99 problems and kicker ain't one

Good to have him signed for a few more years. 59/59 on kicks inside of 50 last year is just real comforting.

21-28 at 50+ in his career, and 3 of the 7 misses were >55 yards.

Only so much pie to go around.

Comforting knowing $$$-Mac is back longer, and hopefully he has a very lengthy career until the day he retires a Bengal.

But there's much more pie available since Randy Bullock is no longer here

Agreed. It's nice to see the deal get done so we don't have to discuss it like the Chase situation.

Congrats Shooter!!

MONEY MAC!

LOVE IT!

He's going to be an important part of our championship runs!

Glad we extended him but I like to see him improve on 50 plus from last season was 7 of 12 after going 14 of 16 in 2022 and 2021

The Bengals paying a kicker with a nice deal. Times are a changing!
