Steelers’ Chris Boswell matches Brandon Aubrey with historic $28 million contract

Recently, the Cowboys have secured their special teams future by signing Brandon Aubrey to a historic four-year, $28 million extension.

Aubrey, who has earned a Pro Bowl selection in each of his three professional seasons, has broken several records with his remarkable range.

He is the first kicker in NFL history to successfully convert three field goals of over 60 yards in a single season.

The first to achieve three seasons with at least ten field goals from 50 yards or more, and his annual average of $7 million and $20 million in guarantees set a new standard for the position, highlighting his status as a premier scoring weapon.

In response, the Pittsburgh Steelers quickly ensured their own specialist wouldn’t be overlooked.

According to Adam Schefter on X, the Steelers matched this historic figure by signing Chris Boswell to a four-year, $28 million extension as well.

By tying Aubrey for the title of the highest-paid kicker in league history, Boswell is now under contract through 2030.

This move emphasizes the importance of specialized consistency, as the Steelers chose to reward a veteran who has long been the backbone of their close victories.

Boswell’s legendary status in Pittsburgh was perhaps best summarized by former head coach Mike Tomlin, who famously referred to the kicker as a “serial killer” after he made a 60-yard game-winning kick against the New York Jets.

Tomlin highlighted Boswell’s “low pulse rate” as the defining characteristic that makes him so effective in clutch situations.

With both the Cowboys and Steelers committing $28 million to their respective specialists, the league has officially entered a new era that values players who can deliver when the game is on the line.
