The San Francisco 49ers signed kicker Robbie Gould to a two-year extension that will keep him under contract through the 2022 season, the team announced Wednesday. The deal is reportedly worth $7.25-million and is fully guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The transaction comes just days after Gould missed three attempts, two field goals, and one extra point against the Arizona Cardinals.

Gould has otherwise enjoyed a consistent season with the 49ers, knocking through 82.6% of his field-goal attempts and 94.7% of his extra points.

The veteran kicker joined San Francisco ahead of the 2017 season after spending the majority of his career with the Chicago Bears. Gould's best seasons have come during his time with the 49ers, with the 38-year-old leading the league in 2018 with a 97.1 field goal percentage.

San Francisco later placed Gould on the COVID-19 reserve list, putting his status for the season finale in jeopardy.
