Mike Brown confirms Bengals, Evan McPherson contract extension talks

The Bengals want to get one of their key pieces extended.

The Cincinnati Bengals have kicker Evan McPherson in mind for an extension.

So confirmed Mike Brown himself at Monday’s annual luncheon, revealing that the talks have already happened.

Brown said the following, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Kelsey Conway: “We’ve been talking to Evan McPherson, we’re hoping we can get there with him.”

A fifth-round pick in 2021, McPherson is one of the franchise’s most accurate kickers to date and enters 2024 on the last year of his rookie deal.

The Bengals like to get extensions done before the season, so this one isn’t a shocker — especially for a kicker who has hit 83.9 percent of his overall attempts, including 21 of 28 from 50-plus yards.

Before this, Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin confirmed contract extension talks with Ja’Marr Chase.
