The New York Giants have one of the older statesmen in terms of kickers. And they will have him for at least the next several seasons.
The Giants re-signed kicker Graham Gano to a three-year contract extension on Friday. The team announced this extension hours before their season opener with rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.
He has been with the Giants since the 2020 season. Since that time, he has made 91.8% of his field goal attempts with the team.

It is the best percentage in team history for a kicker, who has had at least 50 attempts with the team.
One year ago, Gano made 29 of his 32 attempts. He also went 29 of 33 during the 2021 season. Gano made 31 of his 32 attempts during his initial season with the team.
Twenty of his kicks have come from at least 50 yards. This is 11 more than any kicker in team history, according to the team. Last season, he made eight field goals from 50 yards or more.
Plus, he has made 94.6% of his extra-point attempts. He has made 70 of his 74 attempts with the team.

He missed the 2019 season. In his long career, he has made 84.6% of his field goal attempts.
