Kansas City --- Kicker Mason Crosby has restructured his contract with the Green Bay Packers, Yahoo Sports reported Thursday.

Scheduled to make $2.4 million this year, Crosby will now earn $800,000 in base salary. If he's on the roster Sept. 7, that contract is fully guaranteed, according to the report. Through incentives and bonuses, Crosby can make up the $1.6 million difference.

Kansas City --- Kicker Mason Crosby has restructured his contract with the Green Bay Packers, Yahoo Sports reported Thursday.

Scheduled to make $2.4 million this year, Crosby will now earn $800,000 in base salary. If he's on the roster Sept. 7, that contract is fully guaranteed, according to the report. Through incentives and bonuses, Crosby can make up the $1.6 million difference.

Meanwhile, the report also states that the final two years of the five-year, $14.75 million deal Crosby signed in 2011 remain unchanged.

This has been a busy summer for the veteran kicker. Green Bay signed Giorgio Tavecchio to compete with Crosby in training camp, adding Zach Ramirez late as well. Now, Crosby is the only kicker on the roster with Week 1 approaching. After Tavecchio was released, Crosby converted 13 of 14 kicks in duel with Ramirez, who went 6 of 16. Upon further review, one of Crosby's long attempts fell just short. Since Ramirez was signed, Crosby went 23 of 25.

The Packers wanted to ramp up the pressure on Crosby all along after he hit a NFL-low 63.6% of his field-goal attempts this year.

Pretty cool. Maybe this helps him. I was wondering last year if the size of that larger contract weighed too heavily on his mental approach to kicking. This could be very beneficial. We'll have to see how he does. If he comes back like 2011 we can all rest easy.

upon further review I wish GB had put a performance clause in for the last 2 years of his contract as well.

I suppose they can still do it next year if he struggles again this year but it would be nice if it was set up already.

I think the deal is that if he performs up to par this year he gets to keep the money he signed for to begin with. If he stinks that bad this year there will be no 2 more years no matter what the pay it set at.
