Antonio Gates has caught a number of big passes for the Chargers, and on Wednesday he hauled in the biggest contract ever given to an NFL tight end, according to an Associated Press report.
Gates agreed to a $36.175M, five-year contract extension, with $20.4M guaranteed, according to a person familiar with the deal, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the figures weren’t released.
I am looking a little far ahead, but this could affect Finley's contract if he keeps developing like he did last year.
