Pro Bowler Logan Cooke gets $16M extension with Jaguars that makes him NFL's highest-paid punter
Associated Press JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville's Logan Cooke is now the NFL's highest-paid punter. Cooke has signed a four-year, $16 million contract extension with the Jaguars, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because neither side released contract details. A second-team All-Pro selection in 2024, Cooke had been entering the final year of his second deal with the team. He had been scheduled to make $3 million in 2025 and now will get a raise after making his first Pro Bowl last year. It had been unclear how Jacksonville's new regime of general manager James Gladstone and coach Liam Coen would handle Cooke's contract situation. The Jaguars drafted Cooke in the seventh round from Mississippi State in 2018, and he's the team's longest-tenured player. Cooke, who will turn 30 next month, established career highs with a gross putting average of 49.4 yards and a net punting average of 44.8 yards last season. Cooke had ranked seventh in the league among punters in average contract value. He now tops the list ahead of Seattle's Michael Dickson, whose contract averages $3.67 million annually. Cooke has a net punting average of 43.5 yards, the highest career mark in the NFL since the statistic began being tracked in 1976. His career gross punting average of 47.4 yards is the highest in franchise history and the sixth best in the NFL since 1939. Cooke also has placed 41.8% of his punts inside the 20-yard line, the highest mark in team history. ___ AP NFL: recommended in this topic
