LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -Robbie Gould became the highest paid kicker, agreeing to a five-year, $15.5 million contract extension with the Chicago Bears that includes a $4.25 million signing bonus on Monday.

The deal runs through 2013.

"I'm excited about the contract I signed," Gould, who had a year left on his contract, said during a conference call with reporters. "I'm excited to be a Bear. ... This is definitely a win-win on both ends."

Gould has made 84 of 99 field-goal attempts and 99 of 100 PATs with the Bears. He hit 31 of 36 field-goal attempts last season and made the Pro Bowl after the 2006 season, when he scored 143 points.

Gould hit a game-winning 49-yard

Got to start somewhere, if QB isn't your thing.

Gould is a great kicker especially in those wacky conditions.
