Kicking off a new series, we’ll be taking a look at spending rankings for every NFL position by team for the 2025 season. Dead cap hits from players who are no longer on the team do not count towards their positional spending, so Russell Wilson will not show up for the Broncos’ quarterback room despite carrying a dead cap hit of $32,000,000 for the year.

We’ve already covered quarterbacks, running backs, receivers and offensive line, and now we’re moving on to the tight end position. Along with running back, tight end is the other more inexpensive offensive position, as it’s not considered a premium like offensive line, receiver and quarterback. Here’s a look at the most expensive tight end rooms in the league of players currently on the roster.
