Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson warms up during a preseason training camp practice at the Paycor Stadium practice field in downtown Cincinnati on Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson agreed to terms on a three-year, $16.5 million contract extension, his representation announced Friday.

Per Sportstars Inc., McPherson will pocket $10 million in the first year of the deal.

McPherson, who was set to enter the final year of his rookie contract, has proven to be money in the postseason. He has made all 19 of his field goal-attempts -- including three from at least 50 yards -- during seven playoff games.

McPherson, 25, made 26 of 31 field-goal attempts and all 40 extra-point tries last season. He has made 83.9 percent of his field-goal attempts and 95.5 percent of his extra-point tries during his three-year career with the Bengals, who selected him in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Florida.
