Sources - Buccaneers, OT Tristan Wirfs agree to $140.6 million extension - ESPN

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.
