Last season 49ers tight end George Kittle broke Rob Gronkowski’s single-season record for receiving yards by a tight end, and soon Kittle will be eligible for an extension, so let’s take a look at the top tight end contracts, and try to project what Kittle may end up being paid.
According to OverTheCap.com, the following players are the highest paid tight ends.
First up is Green Bay Packers Jimmy Graham, who signed a 3-year, $30 million deal in 2018, which averages $10 million a year, which also included $11 million fully guaranteed, along with a $5 million roster bonus he received in 2019.
