The three-year deal signed by Mason Crosby will pay the Green Bay Packers’ veteran kicker $12.9 million overall, including $6 million in the first year and $9.5 million in the first two years, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Crosby, a 2007 draft pick of the Packers who is coming off arguably his best season as a pro, was set to be an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year. The Packers made Crosby the first of the team’s unrestricted free agents to re-sign with a new deal.
Crosby’s $4.3 million average will make him the third-highest paid kicker in the NFL, trailing only Justin Tucker and Robbie Gould.
Depending on signing bonus and structure, Crosby’s cap hit will likely fall in the $4 million range for 2020, which would still eat a decent chunk of the Packers’ available cap space.
Crosby, the franchise’s leader in points scored, hit 22 of 24 field goals and all but one extra point during the 2019 season. He tied the franchise record for field goal percentage in a season and was named a first alternate for the Pro Bowl.
