A person familiar with the deal says New England Patriots placekicker Stephen Gostkowski has agreed to a contract extension.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to discuss the matter.

Boston media outlets are reporting the extension is worth nearly $14 million and is through the 2014 season. Earlier, Gostkowski, a restricted free agent, had signed a one-year tender offer for $1.759 million for 2010.

Gostkowski replaced Adam Vinatieri as the Patriots kicker after being drafted in the fourth round in 2006. He has made 103 of 121 field goal attempts for a team record 85.1 percent accuracy rate. He's missed just one extra point.
