Bucs Extend Winslow 6 years/$36.1M
Not long ago, we were entertaining the idea of trading for ex-Browns TE Kellen Winslow Jr. The Tampa Bay Bucs beat us to the punch and have since extended WInslow with a 6 year contract that contains $20M in guarantees. The deal is worth a little over $36M and can be maxed over $42M. Winslow is now the highest paid TE in NFL history. I only mention this because it'll set the bar for future TE contracts.

Too much money way too soon
I know they have a lot of cap space that’s likely burning a hole in their pocket, but that deal is a good way for new management to get off on the wrong foot.
With regards to setting the bar for future TE’s – we can only hope Celek plays himself into a contract like this.

He may be the Highest paid but
Does he even make your top 5 current NFL TE’s?

Off the top of my head I’d take Clark, Witten, Gonzalez and Miller over him. Then possibly Gates and/or Cooley as well.
