Janikowski breaks bank for kickers

Sebastian Janikowski and the Oakland Raiders agreed on a $16 million, four-year deal Tuesday that is the richest contract for a kicker in NFL history, the team said.

Janikowski will be guaranteed $9 million in the deal, a person familiar with the contract said on condition of anonymity. Janikowski was eligible to be an unrestricted free agent.

Janikowski is coming off the best season of his 10-year career. He made 26 of 29 field-goal attempts, with his only misses coming from 45, 57 and 66 yards. He made six kicks of at least 50 yards, including a 61-yarder.
