Bootleg Football on Trey McBride

PodcastThe Anatomy of an UpsetSeptember 30, 2026

From the episode

if he does get paid on a receiver scale but he has the two little TE letters in front of his name every other agent for tight ends you'd be like well Brock Bowers got that money right so then Trey McBride deserves a raise

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Bowers' contract sets precedent that could increase McBride's market value.

Trey McBride's contract expectations are affected by Brock Bowers' receiver-scale compensation; if Bowers receives top receiver money despite the tight end designation, other agents for tight ends like McBride would use that precedent to justify raises for their clients.
