Jake Elliott, the Philadelphia Eagles‘ reliable All-Pro kicker, just signed a four-year contract extension, locking him in through 2028. Coming off a career-best season, Elliott proved he’s one of the league’s top kickers, setting records left and right. With an incredible 93.8% field goal completion rate and seven booming kicks from beyond 50 yards, he earned All-Pro honors for the first time. Let’s not forget his game-winning 59-yard kick in driving rain against Buffalo—Elliott thrives in high-pressure moments, saying, “I like it when moments are bigger.”

Elliott, the reliable leg behind the Eagles’ kicking game, locked in a deal that ensures he’s well-compensated for his clutch performances. This contract, which runs from 2024 to 2028, includes a generous $5.54 million signing bonus and $9.7 million guaranteed at signing. In 2024, Elliott will pocket $6.75 million in cash while carrying a $4.57 million cap hit. Not bad for one of the league’s top kickers, right?

Elliott’s story with the Eagles started back in 2017, and it’s been nothing short of spectacular. Originally drafted by the Bengals, he joined Philly mid-season and immediately etched his name in Eagles lore with a franchise-record 61-yard walk-off field goal against the Giants. That rookie season was magical—he nailed a 53-yard playoff field goal and even set the Super Bowl rookie record with a 46-yarder against the Patriots, helping secure the Eagles’ first championship. Talk about clutch.

By the time Elliott’s deal wraps up, he’ll have over $25 million career earnings. With steady salary increases each year, he proves that precision under pressure can pay off big in the NFL.

Since then, Elliott has continued to deliver, becoming second in franchise history for field goals (168) and third in points (775). With the Eagles locking him in for four more years, fans can count on Elliott to keep coming through in the biggest moments.

Jake Elliott: A reliable fantasy star despite rare off night

Jake Elliott has been one of the NFL’s most dependable kickers this season, proving his worth both on the field and in fantasy football. Despite a rare off-night during the Eagles’ 26-18 victory over the Commanders, where he missed two field goals and an extra point, Elliott has consistently been a top-tier option for fantasy managers. Coming into the game, Elliott had only missed one field goal all year, cementing his reputation as a reliable kicker who thrives in high-pressure situations.

Head coach Nick Sirianni showed unwavering confidence in his kicker, even after the shaky performance. “He’s been so clutch his entire career… we believe in you. You’re gonna have to make a kick to help us win this football game,” Sirianni said. And Elliott delivered, rebounding with a critical field goal that extended the Eagles’ lead late in the game. It’s moments like these that keep Elliott at the top of kicker rankings for fantasy football managers.

This season, Elliott has been a consistent points machine for fantasy owners, ranking among the league’s best. With Philadelphia sitting comfortably atop the NFC East, he’s had plenty of opportunities to rack up fantasy points, including long-range field goals and high-pressure extra points. Managers should expect him to bounce back strong heading into the Week 13 slate.
