BALTIMORE — The NFL's most accurate kicker signed a four-year contract extension with the Ravens Monday afternoon.

This puts him under contract through the 2027 season. This also makes him the league's highest paid kicker according to NFL reporter Ian Rapoport.

His previous deal only had two years left on it.

The #Ravens and All-Pro K Justin Tucker agree to terms on a 4-year extension that pays him $24M, source said with $17.5M guaranteed. The new highest paid kicker.

According to ESPN, Tucker is the most accurate kicker in NFL history with a 91.1 field-goal percentage. He's one of just three kickers with a career conversion rate over 90%.

This extension comes after he set the NFL record for the longest field goal, 66-yards, to beat the Detroit Lions last season.

Can’t wait for more moments like this from @jtuck9. 😈

Tucker has also hit 99% of extra points in his career.

He'll be 38-years-old when this contract expires.

When news of his extension hit the NFL world, players took to Twitter to congratulate him.

However, they were sending their positive affirmations to the wrong person.

Former Giants defensive end Justin Tuck was getting a lot of tweets sent his way.

Educational tweet….. @JustinTuck (Me) and @jtuck9 (the great kicker for the @Ravens ) are different people!!!! Carry on
