Steven Hauschka, Buffalo Bills Agree to Contract

The Buffalo Bills announced Thursday they agreed to terms on a deal with kicker Steven Hauschka.

ESPN.com's Sheil Kapadia and Rob Demovsky reported the deal is worth $12.4 million over three years.

Seattle Seahawks punter Jon Ryan bid farewell to his now-former teammate:

Hauschka converted 33 of his 37 field-goal attempts for the Seattle Seahawks in 2016.

Since signing with Seattle in 2011, Hauschka has been one of the more consistent kickers in the NFL. His 175 made field goals are second behind Stephen Gostkowski (190) during that span, per Pro-Football-Reference.com. He's also third in NFL history in field-goal accuracy (87.2 percent).

Hauschka has struggled, however, after the NFL moved extra points to the 15-yard line. After missing two point-after attempts between 2009 and 2014, he 10 misses during the two years in which the extra-point rule was in effect.

Still, Hauschka will be a welcome addition to the special teams unit after Dan Carpenter's accuracy steadily declined during each of his four years in Buffalo.
