Four More for Kasay

Carolina’s 39-year-old kicker John Kasay is in the midst of a streak of 21 consecutive made field goals, and what could have been his last season with the Panthers has turned into a chant for four more. When Kasay signed a four-year contract with the Panthers four years ago, he expected it to be his last contract extension with the team, yet this Wednesday the kicker stood before reporters once more and announced yet another extension with the winning Carolina team. Taking him through the 2012 season, Kasay’s contract extension will allow the top NFL kicker to extend his winning streak, as he hasn’t missed a kick since December 16 of last year. As of last Sunday, Kasay passed Jan Stenerud to take eighth place on the NFL’s career list with 374 field goals, and he’s looking to get even more in the next four years.

Kasay, who will be 43 by the end of his new contract, got his NFL start as a fourth-round pick out of Georgia in 1991, playing for the Seahawks for his first four years in the league before signing as a free agent to Carolina in 1995. He’s been a Panther ever since, and claims he’ll only retire once his team’s offenses loses faith in him (which, by the way, won’t be anytime soon.)
