extension.
The 4-year deal is worth $5.465 million and includes a $1.2 million signing bonus. Masthay would have become a free agent at the end of the season.
The contract is a bargain for the Packers. Masthay averaged 45.6 yards per punt (15th) last season and dropped 23 inside the 20-yard line.
The new deal makes Masthay the 15th highest paid punter in the NFL. Oakland’s Shane Lechler tops the list at $4 million per year.
