The Arizona Cardinals announced on Saturday a two-year contract extension for tight end Maxx Williams. The team does not disclose contract terms but that information has come out.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the extension is worth $7 million.
An average of $3.5 million per year is quite reasonable. It would rank 27th in the league among tight ends.
We do not yet know the details of the signing bonus, yearly salaries or bonuses.
By all accounts, it is a good deal for a player the team really likes.
He was signed to a one-year deal in the offseason after he became a free agent after four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, who drafted him in the second round in 2015.
He has 11 receptions for 139 yards and a touchdown this season for the Cardinals.
