About this listen
This is Biography Flash and here is your rapid update on Harrison Butker over the past few days.
On the field, his 2025 regular season closed on a quietly historic note. CBS Sports reports that in the Chiefs season finale against the Raiders, Butker went a perfect four for four on field goals, accounting for all of Kansas Citys points in a 14 to 12 loss. That performance capped a year in which he hit 33 of 38 field goal attempts, an 87 percent conversion rate, continuing a career pattern of 84 percent or better almost every season and reinforcing his status as one of the NFLs most reliable kickers. CBS also notes he remains under contract with the Chiefs for two more seasons and is expected to retain his role as their primary placekicker in 2026 a significant long term biographical marker as he moves deeper into veteran star territory.
Off the field, the bigger story this week is about image, influence, and defiance. Multiple Sinclair owned outlets including Fox 11, KSNV in Las Vegas, and WICS in Illinois report that Harrison Butker posted a striking message to social media calling out what he termed his enemies. The post featured the Winston Churchill quote You have enemies Good That means youve stood up for something sometime in your life alongside images of Butker in a suit and in uniform. Those outlets place the post squarely in the context of his earlier, heavily criticized commencement address at Benedictine College, where he spoke against President Joe Biden and urged many female graduates to embrace the role of homemaker. The NFL later distanced itself from that speech, saying his comments did not reflect the leagues views, while Chiefs head coach Andy Reid publicly defended his right to his opinions.
Those same reports say the social media flare up follows a major business milestone Butker recently signed a four year extension that makes him the highest paid kicker in the NFL, at about 25.6 million dollars total and 17.75 million guaranteed, slightly topping Justin Tucker and Jake Elliott. Financially and culturally, that deal all but cements him as a central figure in Kansas City and in ongoing debates over outspoken faith driven athletes.
There are no credible reports in the last 24 hours of new public appearances beyond routine team activity, and no verified additional controversy beyond reaction to the enemies post. Any rumors beyond that are unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation.
