Logan Cooke, the punter for the Jacksonville Jaguars, has secured a record-breaking contract making him the highest-paid punter in the NFL at $4 million per year. This deal surpasses the previous record held by Michael Dickson of the Seattle Seahawks. Cooke's performance has been instrumental for the Jaguars, establishing him as a vital asset on the team.

Having signed his third contract with the Jaguars, Cooke's ability to change field position is a critical component of the team's strategy. As the Jaguars aim for success in the upcoming season, Cooke's consistent performances will be key to their special teams' effectiveness.

The Seattle Seahawks have secured punter Michael Dickson with a multi-year contract extension, ensuring he remains the highest-paid player at his position for the 2025 season. The four-year extension, valued at $16.2 million, will keep Dickson in Seattle through 2029. This move comes on the heels of the Jacksonville Jaguars making Pro Bowler Logan Cooke the highest-paid punter briefly, showcasing the fiercely competitive market for top special team players.

Having been with the Seahawks since being drafted in 2018, Dickson has made a significant impact, earning first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors during his rookie year. With an impressive average of 48.2 yards per punt over the past seven seasons, he continues to be a crucial asset for Seattle’s special teams, contributing to their overall success.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have officially signed punter Logan Cooke to a four-year contract extension, keeping him with the team until the end of the 2029 season. This signing comes just ahead of minicamp, as Cooke was entering the final year of his original contract.

Coming off a stellar 2024 season where he was selected to his first Pro Bowl and named a second-team All-Pro, Cooke averaged nearly 50 yards per punt, with a net average of 44.8 yards. He ranked highly in crucial punting metrics, including a top-five finish for punts downed inside the 20-yard line and a minimal number of touchbacks. His performance significantly contributed to the Jaguars' special teams ranking as one of the best in the NFL last season.

Logan Cooke and Ross Matiscik of the Jacksonville Jaguars have been honored with second-team All-Pro selections by the Associated Press, adding to their recognition as Pro Bowlers and NFLPA All-Pros. Cooke made his first All-Pro team while Matiscik secured his second consecutive selection, following a First-Team All-Pro accolade last season.

In the 2024 season, Cooke excelled with 68 punts totaling 3,359 yards and a net punting average of 44.8 yards, leading the AFC and ranking second overall in the NFL. Notably, he placed 34 of his punts inside the 20-yard line, showcasing his precision and effectiveness in field position battles.

Matiscik contributed significantly on special teams, recording two tackles and achieving an 82.3 Pro Football Focus grade, ranking second among NFL long snappers. Although the Jaguars faced challenges throughout the season, Cooke and Matiscik stood out as key players, earning accolades from their coaching staff for their work ethic and performance.
