Justin Tucker signs RFA tender

[IE]

One of the NFL?s top kickers has signed his restricted free agent tender.

Baltimore?s Justin Tucker has inked his one-year, $2.356 million contract offer, Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun reported.



Tucker, 25, connected on 29-of-34 field goals in 2014 (.853), forcing touchbacks on 60-of-88 kickoffs. All five misses were from 50 yards or more. Overall, he has hit 97-of-108 field goals in three NFL seasons (.898), including 59-of-60 from inside of 40 yards.

Given his age, accuracy and leg strength, Tucker figures to be paid at or near the top of the market when it comes time to sign a new deal in 2016, assuming he remains in good form.

Will Hill signs tender with Ravens



Friday is the deadline for restricted free agents to solicit offer sheets from new teams, which probably leaves most players with a pretty good idea at this point about whether they?re going to receive one.




We?re not sure what safety Will Hill might have heard from other clubs, but it seems nothing made him want to make the jump away from the Ravens. Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun reports that Hill signed his tender with the team on Thursday. Hill was tendered at the lowest level, which leaves him with a $1.542 million salary for the 2015 season.

Hill played well for the Ravens over the final 10 games of the season, but he missed the first six games of the year while serving the third suspension of his short NFL career. The first two came while Hill was a member of the Giants and he also provided them with good efforts on the field when he was eligible to do so.

Those off-field issues likely kept other teams at bay this offseason and Hill?s chances of getting more than a one-year deal next year will be helped if he can make it through 2015 without suspension or other off-field incident.
