The Buffalo Bills reached agreement with kicker Tyler Bass on a four-year extension that keeps him with the team through the 2027 season, according to reports from ESPN and NFL Network. The deal is worth up to $21 million with $12.3 million guaranteed, making him the fourth-highest-paid kicker in average annual value, according to Roster Management.
A Georgia Southern product, Bass was drafted by Buffalo in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL draft. He has been the Bills’ kicker in every game since, making 85.6% of his career kicks and 97.5% of PATs.
Bass has shown the ability to kick consistently despite the tough conditions that the lake wind and often lake-effect snow bring to Highmark Stadium. He is the first player in Bills history to score 120-plus points in three seasons. He also holds team records for most field goals attempted in a game (8), most field goals made in a game (6), and most points in a season (141 in 2020).
The Bills will also have consistency at the holder position for Bass after re-signing punter Sam Martin to a three-year deal this offseason.
