Trey McBride glad that he and George Kittle are helping tight end contracts grow
In early April, Arizona's Trey McBride signed a four-year, $76 million contract that made him the first tight end in NFL history to sign a deal averaging $19 million a year. In late April, 49ers tight end George Kittle signed a contract that averaged $19.1 million a year — thanks to an inflated final year structured specifically to make Kittle's annual average look better than McBride's. For his part, McBride is just happy to see tight ends getting paid, regardless of whether he or Kittle has the title of highest paid tight end in the NFL. Advertisement 'I think it was great that I had the title at one point and that was obviously a huge milestone for me and everything just to be the highest paid at my position at the time, and I thought that was really cool,' McBride told 'Obviously, George is much deserving of that and I'm very excited for him.' McBride is hoping some tight end is making $20 million a year soon. 'I would love for someone to jump him and everyone just keep jumping each other and the tight ends make a ton of money," McBride said. "So that's what I'm pulling for but obviously very excited for George.' Future tight ends who might break the $20 million a year mark include Sam LaPorta of the Lions, who will be eligible for his second contract in 2026, and Brock Bower of the Raiders, who will be eligible for his second contract in 2027.

Advertisement It's the Giants, not as interesting, and who the Bengals were playing, cause I, I honestly don't see a path to the Bengals being a, being a competent, being a, you know, a top half of the league sort of defense this year. Like, I think they're gonna be just about as generous as they were last season. And oh, look, they get the Cardinals. Um, the Bengals last year gave up the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. We're gonna get, we're gonna get Trey McBride in week 17 against the Bengals. That's That's almost enough reason for me to draft him over Brock Bauers if we're being completely honest here, like McBride's coming off the season in which he had the worst touchdown look like basically of all time, still caught 111 balls. Um, no reason to think he can't catch another 100 balls this year. He's great, and again that matchup with the Bengals in week 17 when you need them most, is going to be so appealing.

Cardinals' Trey McBride on becoming highest-paid TE: 'No pressure at all'
Earlier this week, the Arizona Cardinals made Trey McBride the highest-paid tight end in NFL history, extending him to a four-year, $76 million deal — but McBride is unfazed by the historic nature of his contract. "[I feel] no pressure at all," McBride said about signing the deal. "I had no pressure when I was on a rookie deal, and I don't expect any pressure now. I'm just gonna continue to do what I've done. Continue to put the work in and everything really does take care of itself. You just do the right thing, work hard and everything will take care of itself." McBride's $19 million average annual salary passes Travis Kelce ($17.1 million per season) and T.J. Hockenson ($16.5 million per season) for first among tight ends, with the $76 million total passing George Kittle ($75 million total) for first among tight ends. McBride, whom the Cardinals selected with the No. 55 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Colorado State, totaled just 29 receptions in his 2022 rookie season. Then, he logged 81 receptions for 825 yards and three touchdowns in Year 2 (2023). Last season, McBride hauled in 111 receptions (fourth in the NFL) for 1,146 yards and two touchdowns, earning him a Pro Bowl nod. McBride's 111 receptions (in 16 games) ranks second among all players in Cardinals history for a single season and first among team tight ends. Furthermore, his 81 catches in 2023 ranks second among tight ends in Cardinals history. McBride was second among tight ends in overall grade (86.8) and receiving grade (89.8) last season, per Pro Football Focus. He has led the Cardinals in both receptions and receiving yards in each of the past two seasons. "I feel like I'm just breaking the surface of where I can play, and where I can be," McBride said. "I feel like the upside is still there; there's so much. The sky's the limit, really, especially with Kyler [Murray} playing quarterback. We have so much connection. Everything is just trending in the right direction." McBride and the Cardinals are coming off an 8-9 season in which they missed the playoffs. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
