The greatest rookie TE of all time, Brock Bowers broke the all time rookie receptions record for all positions, justifying his lofty $10,806,844 compensation for 2024.
Andrews earned $11,000,000 in the 2024 season, one in which he saw his role significantly reduced, but still caught 11 touchdowns.
Hunter Henry had a really solid season for a bad offense in 2024. He earned $11,500,000 as the Patriots TE1.
Freiermuth earned $11,600,000 in 2024. He's a quality red zone target, but has become more of a cog in the machine rather than a key offensive weapon for the Steelers.
Never quite living up to the hype, Noah Fant still earned $12,000,000 in 2024, making him one of the highest paid tight ends. It remains to be seen if he will ever perform at the level his contract suggests he should.
Schultz earned $14,250,000 in 2024. He was, by far, the least productive of the five highest-paid tight ends, but remains a decent offensive weapon for the Texans.
Kittle's contract averages $15 million per year, underscoring his value to the 49ers' offense. He earned $14,000,000 in 2024, which was one of the best seasons of his career.
Goedert earned $14,250,000 in 2024, making him one of the league's top-paid tight ends. He was a key member of the Eagles Super Bowl winning squad.
Njoku earned $14,500,000 in 2024, positioning him among the top-paid tight ends. The veteran has been highly effective when on the field, but dealt with a multitude of injuries last year.
Kelce leads with a total cash compensation of $17,000,000 for the 2024 season, including base salary, prorated bonuses, and roster bonuses. The veteran tight end is a surefire future Hall of Famer and currently mulling retirement.
