Chicago Bears kicker Robbie Gould is hopeful that his new contract with the club is just the start of a series of deals for veteran players.
The club face major decisions in the off-season whether to extend quarterback Jay Cutler and cornerbacks Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings's deals, after signing Gould to a four-year contract.
He told the Chicago Sun-Times: "We've got something special here. You've got guys — Jay Cutler, Devin Hester, Charles Tillman, Tim Jennings, James Anderson — you've got guys that are up [for new contracts], that if the deal we've struck gives a little extra money to keep guys around, then I'm all for it."
The Bears need to beat the Green Bay Packers on Sunday to secure a spot in the post-season.
