Buccaneers agree to 6-year deal with Brate, worth reported $41M

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced they've agreed to a six-year extension with tight end Cameron Brate. A source told ESPN's Jenna Laine that the deal is worth $41 million, with $18 million guaranteed.

The four-year veteran was a restricted free agent. He caught 48 of 77 targets last season for 591 yards and six touchdowns in 2017. He has career totals of 129 receptions, 1,556 yards, and 17 touchdowns.

He represents one half of one of the league's best tight end duos along with 2017 first-round pick O.J. Howard.

The two ranked as Pro Football Focus' No. 6 and 68 tight ends, respectively, last season.
