The 6 foot 4 inch, 246 pound McBride has quickly cemented himself as one of the Cardinals&rsquo; go-to pass-catchers over the last couple of seasons. In fact, the Colorado State alum has led the Cardinals in receiving yards in both 2023 and 2024.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Drafted with the 55th pick in the second round of the 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nfl\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>NFL<\/a> draft, McBride spent most of the season playing behind Zach Ertz. However, following Ertz&rsquo;s departure from the team in 2023, it opened the door for McBride who grasped the opportunity with both hands. The 25-year-old had an outstanding season last year leading to his first Pro Bowl nomination.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Having realized his potential and the level of success he brings to the Cardinals&rsquo; offense, Arizona has extended his contract keeping him on their roster through 2029. McBride will be playing in his fourth season this year once the new regular season starts in September.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">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 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MSWENSON78?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@MSWENSON78<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CJLaBoy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@CJLaBoy<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DHendrickson41?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@dhendrickson41<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WassermanNFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@wassermannfl<\/a>.<br><br>The deal includes $43 million guaranteed and a $19 million average per year,&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Gil0BQKxhq\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/Gil0BQKxhq<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1907894088445387165?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 3, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trey McBride&rsquo;s Contract Details<\/h2><p>The Arizona Cardinals and their tight end Trey McBride have reached an agreement on a 4-year extension worth $76 million out of which $43 million is guaranteed and $32.5 million is fully guaranteed.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Full details:<br>&mdash; $76M over 4 years.<br>&mdash; $43M guaranteed.<br>&mdash; $32.5M fully guaranteed. <br>&mdash; $19M in new money APY. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zvnt8rzWB9\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>https:\/\/t.co\/zvnt8rzWB9<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RapSheet\/status\/1907896464602177800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 3, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The 4-year $76 million deal works out to an annual average of $19 million which is nearly $2 million more than the next best tight end in the league &ndash; Travis Kelce.

After starting my professional career as a French-to-English translator, working as a content writer is a new adventure for me. I started out in the sports media field for two main reasons: my love for sports in general, especially the NFL, NBA, and Tennis, as well as my passion for writing. The best part of this job is that I get to write a variety of pieces with the freedom to explore content from various angles. It also enables me to stay up to date with the sporting world, which otherwise can be difficult to do in the day-to-day grind. In a world full of chaos, sports unite and entertain like nothing else!","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/devakul"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/devavrat\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36671"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36671"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36671\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36812,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36671\/revisions\/36812"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
