‘Super Grateful’ Michael Dickson Signs Four-Year Contract Extension With Seahawks

https://www.reuters.com/sports/report-seahawks-extend-p-michael-dickson-through-29-2025-06-10/

Dickson has been extended through the 2029 season. As of this deal he is the highest paid punter in the NFL and IMO worth every penny.

Edited to add a new link now that they have it at .com

I’m not mad.

I can’t think of a punter I’d rather have.

This is what I see, am I missing something/not seeing the same as you?

I wanted to use a different article by CBS sports but it had crazy pop ups and wasn’t worth it.

Combined it with this caption…

I like it!

Hopefully it’s a total waste of money.

I admire teams that identify the players they want to keep and build around and then not waste time extending them. The price almost always goes higher when you wait. The Eagles, Ravens, 49ers are a few of the teams that get this for the most part. Teams like Dallas do not. I also admire teams that don't waste time cutting bait with players who no longer fit their vision either from a schematic or cultural standpoint.

I guess I just admire teams that actually have a well thought out plan/vision for the kind of team they want and then stick to it. LOL

They need to get busy on the 2022 draft class as the offseason/regular season progresses (if they still need more evaluation). They've been drafting well for a few years now, and it's time to start locking up some of those picks coming due for a new contract.

Any time you can rush for a TD against your own team, as a punter, you deserve an extension!

New dats a bit of a humdinga Aye mate?

Remember this incredible play and how Dickson made Joe, Troy, and the "rules expert" Mike Pereira all look like fools in the process?

Great news. It's all too easy to overlook the importance of kickers until you have a shitty one and you have to depth charge a shot of Pepto every time they're on the field.

I'll take my tin foil hat off shortly. I bet Dickson was going to holdout for a warm weather QB steady situation but then he saw his name on the best 50 Seahawks of all time list and then signed on the dotted line. Nice move by marketing to quell the situation before it got ugly.

First sentence though : "3rd down continues to be a problem for Seattle"

Hope that broken record was finally replaced this season.

Grass always greener....oh wait. That was DK.

Anyway, good punters are hard to find so this guy deserves every penny.

I am 50/50 on the signing he probably is the best punter in the league but if I am going to sign a kicker to a high end contract for his position it would be for a top PK who can win you games, a punter is easily replaced with a UDFA or late rd draft pick. I guess though in todays NFL $4 million per year isn’t what it used to be. Mcdonald probably sees Dickson has an important part of his defense
