Summary

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Chris Boswell to a $20 million extension over four years with $12.5 million guaranteed. The contract makes Boswell the highest-paid kicker in NFL history, tied with Justin Tucker's rate with the Baltimore Ravens. Boswell is on a Pro Football Hall of Fame trajectory after just seven seasons. Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin had the right plan by keeping the kicker on the payroll. He will help them win a lot of close defensive games in the coming years as they rebuild the offense.

0:00.0	I'm Chris Carter of the Lockdown Steelers podcast.
0:03.7	We have a breaking news updates to talk about,
0:05.9	and that's because Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers have indeed signed an extension for Chris Boswell.
0:14.9	Their kicker is a new four-year extension, $20 million that includes $12.5 million guaranteed, according to his agent
0:23.3	Jeff Nally confirming this ties Justin Tucker for making Chris Boswell the highest paid
0:29.3	kicker in NFL history.
0:32.2	Now, Steelers fans, this was something that we were wondering about waiting on.

0:38.0	So don't worry about it. It's happening.
0:40.8	Danny Smith was right because it did happen. And the Steelers were never going to let Boswell have to worry about anything.
0:46.9	For those who think, oh, man, why are you paying a whole lot of money for a kicker when you need to fix the offensive line?
0:51.6	You're not sure your quarterback is. It's because Chris Boswell's on a different level.

1:21.6	are presumed Hall of Famers have played, he's going to be. Because when you look at his numbers
1:26.0	and his percentages, he's better than the
1:28.9	Hall of Fame kickers. Now, for the record, there are two guy kickers that are full, two pure
1:33.1	kickers who are in the Hall of Fame. There's a couple guys that were also kickers, but we're
1:36.7	talking about pure kickers guys who play that. There was Jan Stenarrood and Morton Anderson.
1:40.8	They were the two pro, they are the two Hall of Fame kickers that are in there right now.
