After a long standoff, the New England Patriots and kicker Stephen Gostkowski have finally come to terms.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Patriots have re-signed Gostkowski on a two-year deal.

There had been some doubt as to whether or not Gostkowski would return to New England, as the two sides did not seem to be agreeing on money, and other teams had expressed interest in the veteran.

But, ultimately, the Patriots decided to bring the only kicker they have ever known since Adam Vinatieri back.

Gostkowski is coming off of a 2018 campaign in which he made 27 of his 32 field-goal attempts and converted 49 of his 50 extra points. He then went on to make five of his six field-goal tries in the playoffs.

The 35-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Memphis, was originally selected by New England in the fourth round (118th pick overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft.

His career got off to a rather rough start, as he made just 20 of his 26 field-goal attempts in his rookie campaign, but by his third year in the league, Gostkowski was a Pro Bowler and a First-Team All-Pro after drilling 36 of his 40 field-goal tries.

Overall, the Baton Rouge native has made four Pro Bowl appearances while earning First-Team All-Pro honors twice, with his best season coming in 2013 when he nailed 38 of his 41 field-goal attempts and went 5-of-6 from 50 yards or longer, including a 54-yarder.

Gostkowski also made the longest kick of his career in 2017, booting a 62-yarder through the uprights.
