Summary

  • $75 million over four years will keep Tucker Kraft under contract through the 2030 season, with a $26.5 million signing bonus and a maximum value of $92 million.
  • The deal lands before Week 1 after both sides pushed to avoid talks spilling into the season, and Kraft is fully recovered from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 campaign in Week 9.
  • $18.75 million per year ranks Kraft behind George Kittle's $19.1 million and Trey McBride's $19 million, but ahead of Kyle Pitts at $18 million.
  • Kraft, 25, earned the extension after a 2024 breakout of 50 catches for 707 yards and seven touchdowns, then posting 489 yards and six scores in eight games last season.
