Bucs agree to terms with K Chase McLaughlin on new contract

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to terms on a new contract extension with kicker Chase McLaughlin

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to terms on a new contract extension with kicker Chase McLaughlin, per multiple reports.

It’s a new three-year deal for McLaughlin according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, who was the first to report the news.

After signing a one-year deal with the Bucs last offseason, McLaughlin delivered the best season the franchise has ever seen from a kicker, nailing 29 of his 31 field goal attempts, including seven of eight from 50 yards or more.

Now, McLaughlin gets the long-term security of a three-year deal, while the Bucs are able to lock in stability at a position where it had eluded them for years.

After re-signing wide receiver Mike Evans and quarterback Baker Mayfield, as well as keeping safety Antoine Winfield Jr. with the franchise tag, the Bucs continue to keep their biggest free agents from hitting the open market.
