New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski reportedly signed his $4.59 million franchise tender on Friday.

The Patriots had placed the tag on him Monday.

The Patriots and Gostkowski are expected to work on an extension through the July 15 deadline.

Gostkowski, a three-time Pro Bowl player, made a career-best 94.6 percent (35 of 37) of his field-goal attempts in 2014 and became the Patriots’ all-time leading scorer with 1,179 points.

A fourth-round draft choice in 2006, replacing Adam Vinatieri, Gostkowski has converted 243 of 280 attempts, just 20 short of Vinatieri’s franchise record.

The Patriots used the franchise tag on Vinatieri in 2002 and 2005.
