Bengals, Evan McPherson agree to massive contract extension

The Bengals get the deal done with Evan McPherson.

The Cincinnati Bengals have completed the expected extension with kicker Evan McPherson.

Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, it’s a three-year, $16.5 million extension that gives him $10 million in new money over the first year of the deal.

McPherson has been a star for the Bengals since arriving via the fifth round in 2021. He’s posted a perfect playoff mark of 19-for-19 and has made 21 kicks of 50-plus yards, the most ever for a kicker over his first three seasons.

To date, McPherson has only missed seven kicks of 50-plus yards and overall has made 83.9 percent of his attempts.

McPherson’s rookie contract was set to expire after the 2024 season.
