Cardinals TE Trey McBride has been signed to a contract extension making him the highest paid TE in the NFL. He inked a four-year, $76 million deal with $43 million guaranteed. McBride caught 111 passes on 147 targets last season for 1,146 yards and two TDs. Entering his fourth year, McBride's elite TE ability is a key part of the Cardinals offense.
Adam Schefter of ESPN: "Arizona Cardinals are making Pro-Bowl TE Trey McBride the highest-paid tight end in NFL history with a four-year, $76 million extension, per agents.The deal includes $43 million guaranteed and a $19 million average per year, the highest ever for any NFL tight end.
