Harrison Butker, who has had a complicated offseason outside of football, has just signed a brand new deal with the Chiefs, making him the highest-paid player in his position. The deal is four years, 25.6 Million, of which 17.8 Million is guaranteed. With an average of 6.4 million a year, he is now the crowned kicker in the NFL. Even more impressive, Bukter represented himself in this deal.

Butker had his best season yet last year when he was 94.3% accurate on his FG attempts in the regular season and 100% accurate in the postseason. He also went perfect on XPA (38/38), which was just another checkmark on a great season. With stats like these, it is easy to see why the Chiefs signed him to such a large deal.
