Alright, so you wanna know about this Nick Folk fella and how much money he’s made, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, that boy’s been kickin’ footballs for a long, long time. Been around the block, he has. And kickin’ ain’t a bad way to make a livin’, not when you’re good at it like he is.
Now, from what I hear, this Nick, he’s stacked up quite a bit of dough over the years. They say he’s made somethin’ like $23.5 million all together. That’s a whole lotta money, ain’t it? More than most folks see in a lifetime, that’s for sure.
This year, he’s playin’ for the Titans, you know, the team down in Tennessee. And they’re payin’ him pretty good. He’s got a salary of $1.69 million just for showin’ up, that’s what they call the “base salary.” But that ain’t all, no sirree. He also got himself a nice chunk of change just for signin’ on the dotted line – a $1.75 million signin’ bonus. And they guaranteed him $3.5 million, which means he gets that money no matter what happens. That’s what I call smart business!
So, his contract this year, it’s for one year and worth $3.755 million. That’s on average, mind you. He could make even more if he kicks real good – up to $4.13 million with those fancy “incentives.” You know, like extra money for makin’ long kicks and such. They say he’s the most accurate kicker in the league lately, so I reckon he’ll be gettin’ that extra money.
Last year, he was with the Titans too, and he did real good. Made almost all his kicks, he did. They paid him a $1.12 million salary, plus a $1.17 million signin’ bonus and another $510,000 just for bein’ on the team – a “roster bonus,” they call it.
Before the Titans, he was up in New England playin’ for the Patriots. Signed a contract there for two years, worth $5 million total. Got a signin’ bonus there too, $1.17 million, and they guaranteed him a good bit of money, $2.29 million. That averages out to $2.5 million a year.
- Career Earnings (estimated): $23.5 million
- 2024 Titans Contract: 1 year, $3.755 million (up to $4.13 million with incentives)

So, this Nick Folk, he’s been makin’ good money wherever he goes. He’s gettin’ up there in age, though, 39 years old they say. But as long as he keeps kickin’ those footballs straight, I reckon them teams will keep payin’ him the big bucks. He’s a good kicker, that’s for sure. And in this world, if you’re good at somethin’, people will pay you for it. That’s just the way it is.
Anyways, that’s the story on Nick Folk’s money, as best as I can tell ya. He’s a rich fella, that’s for sure. But he earned it, kickin’ all them footballs. Good for him, I say. Good for him.
