chris boswell agreed to a four-year extension with the Steelers, locking in one of the NFL’s most reliable kickers through the 2030 season. The deal is worth $28 million and carries a $7 million average annual salary, matching the number Brandon Aubrey signed for earlier in the offseason.
Boswell’s Pittsburgh Run
Boswell is heading into his 12th season with Pittsburgh after turning in another sharp year. He was 27-of-32 on field goals and 42-of-43 on extra points last year, then added first-team All-Pro honors in 2024.
His overall Pittsburgh production gives the extension its weight. Boswell is 299-of-341 on field goals and 353-of-369 on extra points during his time with the Steelers, numbers that show how steady he has been across nearly a full decade in the role.
Steelers Keep Their Kicker
The contract keeps a proven piece in place while Pittsburgh continues sorting out other parts of its roster. The Steelers had not settled anything with quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the 2026 season, but Boswell is now secured well beyond that point.
For a team that has leaned on him for years, the move removes one more decision from the future and extends a run that has already lasted through 11 seasons. It also leaves Pittsburgh with a kicker coming off an All-Pro season and carrying a track record that matches the new salary slot the market has set for top specialists.
