How much does a tight end get paid in the NFL?

Answer 1

In 2007, the median salary for a tight end was $2 million. In terms of salary cap numbers, which (this is a simplification) average out the bonuses over the length of the contract and add it to that year's base salary, the highest paid tight ends in 2007 were the Ravens's Todd Heap and the Falcons's Alge Crumpler, both at a little under $5 million. The Chiefs's Tony Gonzales officially had the highest salary of 2007 among tight ends, at $11 million, because it was the first year of his new contract and he collected his $10 million signing bonus in addition to his $1 million salary. The salary cap value of his contract was $4.5 million, placing him third in the league.
