Cardinals Extend McBride with $76M Record Deal

The Arizona Cardinals have signed tight end Trey McBride to a record-setting four-year, $76 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid tight end in NFL history. This deal includes $43 million in guaranteed money and features an average annual salary of $19 million, surpassing previous records held by Travis Kelce and T.J. Hockenson. McBride, 25, has become a pivotal player for the Cardinals, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2024 with 111 receptions for 1,146 yards, second only to rookie Brock Bowers among tight ends. Drafted in the second round in 2022, McBride's performance has been a cornerstone for the Cardinals' offense, particularly under quarterback Kyler Murray. The extension secures McBride with the Cardinals through 2029, positioning him as a key figure in Arizona's future success.
