The Los Angeles Rams have made another extension, this time with their special teams. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the team has come to terms with punter Johnny Hekker for a one-year, $4.25 million contract extension with $3 million guaranteed.

The deal puts Hekker under contract for five years, worth a total of $18.75 million.

Hekker has the ability to punt far and give hang-time to his kicks. He's also a former high school quarterback, giving the Rams the flexibility run semi-frequent fakes that have mostly been successful. He's 11-for-19 for 156 yards and a score as a touchdown. He also holds the record for longest punt in Super Bowl history, with a 65-yarder against the New England Patriots to cap off the 2018 season.

Hekker's 96 punt attempts, 4,601 yards, long of 78 yards, and 47.9 yards per attempt rank first in the NFL since 2015. He's also been special teams Player of the Week twice and Player of the Month the same amount of times.

Hekker, alongside placekicker Greg Zuerlein, makes for one of the NFL's best punter-kicker tandems and is a focal point for the Rams' proficiency on special teams. With Los Angeles locking him up for yet another season, that doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon.
