It feels good. But I mean that's the way I look at it as *** contractor in the past or anything. No. I call my family and stuff like that and called the girlfriend and just moved on. Your family, your girlfriend. What is the stability of staying here for another five years? I mean for for that. So it's *** good feeling, you know, just coming in. I only have this year and you know, just have that stability that I'll be here for the next couple of years, four or five years and you know, we'll be back for more.

LATROBE, Pa. — The Steelers are betting Chris Boswell is as accurate at Acrisure Stadium as he was at Heinz Field.
The team re-signed the veteran kicker to a five-year deal on Tuesday that carries a total value of just over $23 million. Boswell was entering the final season of a four-year extension he signed before the 2018 season.
“I still have to perform every day I come out here and kick,” Boswell said. “Every game I have, I’m competing for my job. Because if I’m not getting the job done, they’ll find somebody to do it.”
In his seven seasons, Boswell has connected on 88.3% of field goal attempts, which ranks second in NFL history with at least 200 field goal attempts, and 94.3% of extra point attempt. In 104 games played, he has accounted for 777 points.
Boswell holds the team's records in career field goal percentage, single-season field goal percentage, consecutive field goals made, single-season field goals made and single-season points.
Boswell became the first player in NFL history to make two 50-plus yard field goals, hit a game-winning field goal and recover an opponent's fumble in the same game when he did so in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears.
“He’s been an important part of this team for a few years now and we’re excited to continue for another five years,” Steelers general manager Omar Khan said Tuesday shortly after the deal was announced.
