The New England Patriots reached a four-year contract extension with Stephen Gostkowski on Wednesday, which reportedly will make the 31-year-old the highest paid kicker in the NFL.

According to ESPN, Gostkowski signed a four-year, $17.2 million contract that replaced his one-year, $4.5 million franchise tender.

Gostkowski went 35 for 37 on field-goal attempts last season, and has led the NFL in field goals in each of the last two years.
