Dickson, 29, was entering the final season of a four-year, $14.5 million extension signed in 2021. He once again becomes the NFL’s highest-paid punter, with the NFL Network reporting the extension to be for $16.2 million.
The new deal runs through 2029 for the Australia-born Dickson, who has played in all 116 regular-season games for Seattle since making his NFL debut with Pro Bowl and All-Pro first-team nods in 2018.
Dickson averaged 49.4 yards per punt in 2024 to finish in the league’s top seven for the fifth time in seven seasons. His career average of 48.2 yards ranks third all-time, and he has had only one of 504 career punts blocked.
“You see a lot of people come through the building, and I’ve just been super grateful since my first year here just to wear this logo and to play in the NFL,” Dickson said. “So I’ve really made it a point of mine to give it everything I can in every aspect of my life, whether it’s food, sleep, hydration, training, looking after my body, trying to do everything I can to make sure my mind is on point for this game, the next game and for as long as I can go. I really want to get the most out of my ability and my time here, and I never want to take it for granted at all.”
