The Facts: Tucker's agent confirmed that his client inked a four-year deal worth a reported $16.8 million, per ESPN, less than a half hour before the 4 p.m. deadline. It keeps one of the game's best kickers and team's most well-liked players in purple and black through the 2019 season.

Diehards Line: Tucker is the second-most accurate kicker of all time, converting 87.8 percent of his field-goal attempts. Last year, he became the fastest kicker in NFL history to score 500 points (60 games). He has missed just six field goals from under 50 yards over his career (112-of-118). Tucker still has room to grow. Last season he posted the lowest field-goal percentage (82.5) of his four-year career. A major reason is that Tucker attempted a career-high 10 field goals from 50 yards or beyond (most in the NFL). He connected on four for a career-low 40 percent success rate. Negotiations took a twist Thursday night when Tucker’s agent, Rob Roche, told ESPN Thursday night that the kicker “vowed” not to re-sign with the Ravens next offseason if an extension wasn’t reached. Baltimore still could have placed the franchise tag on Tucker again, but instead rewarded him with the stability of a long-term contract.
