They also resign kicker Eddie Peniero, holding onto two key contributors from free agency. Tonjes earned Top 10 Titan Status in 2025 with 40 catches, 366 yards, and 5 touchdowns over 17. Games. This deal spreads out the cost smartly, with about $2.4 million in base pay across the next two seasons and a signing bonus. Pro rated over 5 years. His cap hits sit at $2.06 million in 2026 and $2.61 million in 2027, making it a real value for the team.
