The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs reached an agreement on a five-year, $140.63-million extension, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The extension includes $88.24 million guaranteed, Schefter reports.
Wirfs is now the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history, Schefter adds. The $28.1-million average annual value narrowly edges out the deal Detroit Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell signed earlier this offseason, which averages $28 million.
The 25-year-old has been a consistently great blocker since being drafted 13th overall in 2020, even after making the switch from right to left tackle in 2023. He’s been named a Pro-Bowler in three consecutive years, a first-team All-Pro, and a second-team All-Pro.
Wirfs’ availability has been exceptional, too, playing 100% of the offensive snaps in all 63 of his career games. He’s missed just four contests in his career.
The Iowa product joins quarterback Baker Mayfield, safety Antoine Winfield, and wide receiver Mike Evans in signing lucrative extensions with Tampa Bay this offseason.
