The New York Jets reached agreement with kicker Greg Zuerlein on a two-year, $8.4 million deal, NFL Network reported Monday.

It's a hefty pay raise for the 12-year NFL veteran, who played on one-year contracts with the Jets for $2 million in 2022 and $2.6 million last season.

Zuerlein converted 35 of 38 field-goal attempts and 15 of 16 extra-point tries in 16 games in 2023.

A Pro Bowl and All-Pro selection with the Los Angeles Rams in 2017, Zuerlein has made 83.1 percent of his field goals (329 of 396) and 95.7 percent of his PATs (382 of 399) with the St. Louis/L.A. Rams (2012-19), Dallas Cowboys (2020-21) and Jets.
