New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski agreed to a four-year deal worth $17.2 million on Wednesday, the deadline for designated franchise players to sign a long-term extension.

Gostkowski signed a one-year tender the same week the Patriots designated him a franchise player, which restricted his ability to sign with other teams in free agency.
