He was a second-round pick in 2022 out of Colorado State.

In three years, he has become one of the premier pass-catching tight ends in the NFL.

After 29 receptions for 291 yards as a rookie, he set the franchise single-season record for receptions by a tight end with 81 in 2023 to go with 825 yards and three touchdowns.

He bested that in 2024, catching 111 passes, setting a new record, for 1,146 yards (the second-highest single-season total by a tight end) and two touchdowns.

He was selected as a Pro Bowler for the first time in his career.

Trey McBride 2025 contract details, cap hitThis offseason, he signed a four-year, $76 million contract extension, becoming the highest-paid tight end in league history, at least for a couple of weeks until the 49ers' George Kittle signed a larger deal.

He got a $16.75 million signing bonus and will make a fully guaranteed salary of more than $5.4 million in 2025.

His cap hit will be less than $9.6 million.

Questions he faces, roster outlookThere is no question about his roster outlook.

He is a lock for the roster and is the unquestioned TE1 in the offense.

The only questions he faces for the upcoming season are 1) can he keep up the rate of his production and 2) can he take the next step and produce touchdowns? He only has six receiving touchdowns in his career and only had two last season.

He did rush for a score and recover a fumble in the end zone for another, but to be one of the greats, he has to find his way more consistently into the end zone.
