Former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker spent 13 seasons with the franchise, earning multiple personal accolades and a Super Bowl title. How much did he earn during his career in Baltimore?
Justin Tucker’s Career Earnings in Baltimore
Justin Tucker signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 2012, having gone undrafted out of the University of Texas. He’d been a second-team All-Big 12 kicker for the program, but was not one of the four kickers selected in the draft.
Tucker competed with the Ravens’ starter, Billy Cundiff, when he arrived at training camp. The undrafted rookie impressed and ultimately won the starting job, and Cundiff was released.
That was in 2012, and that season, the rookie kicker helped his team to a Super Bowl title in the ‘Harbaugh Bowl’ between John Harbaugh’s Ravens and Jim Harbaugh’s San Francisco 49ers.
Tucker has earned five first-team All-Pro selections, two second-team selections, and was named to seven Pro Bowls. He also holds the NFL record for the longest field goal at 66 yards, as well as having the highest career field goal percentage of any kicker with over 100 attempts in the NFL.
Many consider him to be the best kicker of all time, so how much does a kicker of his caliber make throughout his career?
Per Spotrac, Justin Tucker’s career earnings are $51,129,281.
His rookie contract, signed in 2012, was worth $1.4 million over three years. After being franchise-tagged, he signed his first legitimate extension in 2016, with a contract worth $16.8 million over four years.
He extended again in 2019 with a four-year $20 million deal, which was extended early in 2022, with Tucker signing again for four years, this time on a $24 million contract that meant he was committed until 2027.
Life After Tucker for the Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens have confirmed that Tucker’s release is purely a football decision, despite the ongoing accusations surrounding the kicker.
The team drafted kicker Tyler Loop in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft, which caused a stir at the time with many believing it was a move preceding the inevitable release of their franchise kicker.
Loop has been at the University of Arizona for the past five seasons, serving as their starting kicker for the last three. He has a career field goal percentage of 83.1%, kicking 64 of 77 field goals.
The Arizona kicker went 18 of 23 in the 2024 season, while going 66.75 from 50+ yards. He hit 23 of 25 extra point attempts this past year and was considered one of the best kickers available in the draft.
Loop was one of two kickers drafted, with the New England Patriots selecting Andres Borregales with the 182nd pick. The Ravens took the Arizona kicker with the 186th pick.
