Mason Crosby will Be Paid Top-Three Kicker Money

Kicker Mason Crosby and the Green Bay Packers have apparently agreed to a four-year contract – according to a tweet by his agent, Mike McCartney.

Monitor FOX6 News and FOX6Now.com for updates on this developing story.

Crosby ($4.025 million annually) comes in behind New England’s Stephen Gostkowski, who makes $4.3 million annually, and Baltimore’s newly franchised Justin Tucker, whose franchise tag carries a one-year salary of $4.572 million. With the extra points being moved back past year, kickers have become even more important. And, in the playoffs, Crosby went a ideal 4 for 4 on field goals and 5 for 5 on extra points. If Green Bay had elected to give him its franchise tag for 2016, he would have been owed $4.57 million.

Crosby has been with the Packers for nine seasons, and played out a full five-year, $14.75 million contract he signed in 2011. But he tied his career low in missed field goals.

Mason Crosby made the most of this chance, coming back with a career high in accuracy at 89.2 percent in 2013.
