The Cardinals made Trey McBride the highest-paid tight end in NFL history Thursday.
McBride agreed to a four-year extension worth $76 million, with $43 million guaranteed, agents Mike Swenson, CJ LaBoy and Doug Hendrickson told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. McBride’s annual average of $19 million in the deal is the highest for an NFL tight end.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce previously held the highest average per year for a tight end at $17.125 million, per the Roster Management System.
McBride, who’s coming off his first Pro Bowl season, will now be under contract with Arizona through the 2029 season. The Cardinals announced McBride’s four-year extension but did not disclose financial terms.
