The Arizona Cardinals are making Pro Bowler Trey McBride the highest-paid tight end in NFL history with a four-year, $76 million extension, agents Mike Swenson, CJ LaBoy and Doug Hendrickson told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.
The deal includes $43 million guaranteed and a $19 million average per year, the highest ever for any NFL tight end.
The Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce previously held the highest average per year for a tight end at $17.125 million, per the Roster Management System.
The Cardinals announced McBride's four-year extension but did not disclose financial terms.
