Winslow, who has called himself "The Chosen One" and said he expects to surpass his father's Hall of Fame career, signed a six-year contract Wednesday that makes him the highest-paid tight end in NFL history.
The contract is worth $29 million and could bring him up to $40 million if he reaches all his incentives. The deal includes $16.5 million in combined signing and option bonuses.

"I just wanted to get my fair-market value. I was the sixth pick, but I was in an elite group," Winslow said.
