The Facts: The Saints found a kicker they liked, and they want to keep him. According to Josh Katzenstein of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Saints have agreed to a five-year contract extension with Lutz.
Diehards Line:
The 24-year-old Lutz was going to be a restricted free agent, but rather than just tender him for a year, they locked him up long term. He gave them plenty of reason for confidence last year, hitting 28-of-30 field goals (93.3 percent), the most accurate season in franchise history. His accuracy has actually improved each of his three seasons there, so it makes sense to hang onto him. And as he's working alongside one of the league's more potent offenses, he'll remain of great interest to fantasy owners.
