POSTED: 4:22 pm EDT May 12, 2008

(Sports Network) - The Chicago Bears have signed kicker Robbie Gould to a five-year contract extension, the team announced on Monday.

Terms of the deal, which runs through the 2013 season, were not disclosed.

Gould, a Penn State product, made 31-of-36 field goals in 2007, and converted 33 extra points to give him 126 points. It was his second straight season of at least 125 points after leading all NFL kickers in scoring in 2006 with 143 points, hitting 32-of-36 field goals and all 47 of his extra point attempts on his way to being named first-team All Pro for the Bears.

The 25-year-old was signed by the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2005, and broke in with the Bears that season. For his career, Gould is Chicago's all-time field goal percentage leader among kickers with at least 50 attempts, making 84.8 percent of his kicks (84-of-99).
