NFL Playoffs' TE salaries ranked

Here, we will examine the salaries of the TE1s and TE2s of the remaining teams in the playoffs. We will use ESPN's depth charts in conjunction with average salaries from Spotrac.

8. Grant Calcaterra, Philadelphia Eagles - $958,536

Grant Calcaterra is the lowest-paid TE among the starters and backup. Calcaterra is Dallas Goedert's backup for Nick Sirianni's side. He'll be tasked with blocking and acting as a relief pass catcher when Goedert needs a breather.

7. John Bates, Washington Commanders - $1,806,988

John Bates is Zach Ertz's backup on the Washington Commanders. Bates is ahead of Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff on the depth chart.

6. Zach Ertz, Washington Commanders - $3,000,000

Zack Ertz is on a prove-it deal with the Washington Commanders, and he might have earned a big payday by the time he signs his next contract. Ertz has been great this postseason and will look to end his former side's playoff dreams in the NFC championship game.

5. Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills - $3,356,756

Dalton Kincaid is arguably the best backup tight end in the conference championships. He is an asset in the Bills offense and should be a handful against the Kansas City Chiefs.

4. Noah Gray, Kansas City Chiefs - $6,000,000

Noah Gray is the best-paid backup tight end in the playoffs. He'll shadow Travis Kelce versus the Bills and provide a safety blanket for Patrick Mahomes.

3. Dawson Knox, Buffalo Bills - $9,833,333

Dawson Knox is a significant part of the Bills offense. He leads a tight-end room with the likes of Dalton Kincaid, Quintin Morris and Armani Rogers. The Kansas City Chiefs must pay close attention to him in the AFC championship game.

2. Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles - $14,250,000

Dallas Goedert is coming into his own as the starting tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles. He'll be up against former mentor Zach Ertz in a crunch NFC championship game.

1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs - $17,125,000

Travis Kelce needs no introduction, and at this stage, he's just adding to his Hall of Fame legacy. Kelce is deservedly the best-paid tight end in the NFL. He'll be Patrick Mahomes' primary target against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC championship game.
