Travis is Kelce is no longer the highest-paid end in the NFL as the title now belongs to Arizona Cardinals star Trey McBride.
On Thursday, Adam Schefter reported that the Pro Bowl tight end signed a lucrative four-year, $76million extension to remain in Arizona.
The deal includes $43m guaranteed money and $19m average per year, per Schefter.
McBride, 25, was a second-round pick in 2022 which blossomed into one of the Cardinals’ best players. Now entering his fourth year in the NFL, the Colorado State product earned his first Pro Bowl nod in 2024.
During his third season in the league, McBride caught 111 passes for 1,146 yards with two touchdowns. He also had a two-yard rushing touchdown in his lone carry in the NFL.
After winning his second straight Super Bowl, and third with Kansas City, in 2024, the Chiefs gave Kelce two-year, $34.25m extension to keep him through 2025.
