Tyler Bass found himself in the spotlight on Sunday night after his missed 44-yard field goal cost the Buffalo Bills their game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bills lost 27-24, ending their playoff run in the Divisional round.

After the game, Bass took responsibility for the missed kick, acknowledging that he should have adjusted his aim to account for the wind. Disappointed Bills fans were left wondering about Bass's contract and salary.

According to Spotrac, Bass signed a four-year, $20.4 million contract extension with the Bills in April 2023, including a $5.1 million signing bonus and $9.41 million in guaranteed money. In 2023, he earned a base salary of $1.01 million, along with $1.066 million in bonuses. His base salary is set to increase to $2.8 million through 2024, with additional bonuses.
