Just seems like a lot for a kicker, but the difference between a great kicker and a good kicker can be 2 additional wins a season and maybe a play-off win.  So if he is great, particularly in our weather, you need to keep him.

 

Ranking:

10th in FG% for kickers with 20 or more attempts.

2022 NFL field-goals stats - Players | NFL.com

In total, the 44 kickers on the books in the NFL for the 2022-23 season make around $110 million combined. That puts the average kicker salary at around $2.5 million.

 

1. Justin Tucker, Baltimore Ravens: $6,000,000

2. Chris Boswell, Pittsburgh Steelers: $5,000,000

3. Younghoe Koo, Atlanta Falcons: $4,850,000

4. Graham Gano, New York Giants: $4,666,667

5. Daniel Carlson, Las Vegas Raiders: $4,600,000

I like Bass. Love his attitude and of course he has a big leg. But I gotta say IIRC we have yet to need him to hit a long game winner/tie. I know he's hit a few but most of them (if not all) have been short ones. I still wonder if he's THAT clutch you know? Like Vinatieri, Tucker or Carlson. 

 

Having said that better to lock him up than go on a search for someone just because Bass hasn't been tested in a certain very specific way. Good move.
