Sources: Bucs make Wirfs top-paid O-lineman

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs have reached agreement on a five-year, $140.63 million contract extension that makes him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.

The deal includes $88.24 million guaranteed, a source said.

Wirfs, a three-time Pro Bowler, was in the final year of his rookie contract that paid $18.24 million this year. He now is contractually tied to Tampa Bay through 2029.

His $28.1 million salary passes the $28 million per year that the Detroit Lions' Penei Sewell received in April.

Wirfs, 25, had been kept out of team padded periods of practice for precautionary reasons as the sides worked on the new contract. Coach Todd Bowles had said earlier this week that both sides were negotiating in "good faith."

This is the second $100 million deal the Buccaneers have given out this offseason, along with the three years, $100 million they signed quarterback Baker Mayfield to in March. They also gave Antoine Winfield Jr. a four-year, $84.1 million contract that made him the highest-paid safety in the NFL and signed wide receiver Mike Evans to a two-year, $41 million contact.

Wirfs was a first-team All-Pro in 2021 and a second-team selection in 2022.
