Former ESPN star Trey Wingo threw a jab at Harrison Butker after the kicker agreed to an historic contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday.
Trey Wingo, a former ESPN broadcaster, took flak on Monday after his remark about Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker fresh off of the Super Bowl champion’s reported extension. Butker and the Chiefs reportedly agreed to a four-year deal worth $25.6 million, the most ever given to a kicker in NFL history. His $17.75 million guaranteed is also the most for the position. He’s helped the Chiefs to three Super Bowl championships since the 2020 season.
However, Butker’s offseason has been filled with drama over his faith-based commencement speech at Benedictine College. He urged women to embrace the title of 'homemaker' and ripped President Biden while adding, 'Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for the degenerate cultural values and media all stem from pervasiveness of disorder.' Wingo used Butker’s extension news to take a shot at him over the speech.
fans came after Wingo over the 'willing to put up with' remark as Butker was never arrested or convicted of a crime. Instead, he just gave a speech that earned praise from some and backlash from others. In his seven-year career, he has knocked 89.1% of his field goal attempts and 94.5% of extra-points. This past season was his best, though, as he went 38-for-38 on PATs and 33-for-35 on field goal attempts.
He was 4-for-4 on field goal attempts in Super Bowl LVIII, including two game-tying kicks in the fourth quarter, one of which sent the game into overtime with three seconds left.
