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.

The deal includes $88.24 million guaranteed, a source said, the most guaranteed money for any offensive tackle in the league.

Wirfs, a three-time Pro Bowler, was in the final year of his rookie contract and slated to play under the fifth-year option 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, reported to mandatory minicamp in June but did not participate as not to risk injury. He was then 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.»

On Monday, Wirfs thanked his teammates for supporting him during the negotiation process, saying, "Baker [Mayfield] has had my back, everyone's had my back this whole time. There's no bad blood anywhere. But I was like, I've got to be out here with the guys, I've got to do something."

He said that deals by Sewell and Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw helped move things along.

This is the second $100 million deal the Buccaneers have given out this offseason, along with the three-year, $100 million deal they signed with Mayfield 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
