Tampa Bay's Wirfs agrees to $140.63 million extension, becoming highest-paid OL in NFL history

Tampa Bay’s Tristan Wirfs became the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history after agreeing Thursday to a five-year, $140.63 million contract extension.

The deal, which runs through 2029, surpasses extensions signed this year by Minnesota’s Christian Darrisaw (four years, $113 million) and Detroit’s Penei Sewell (four years, $112 million).

ESPN reported it includes $88.24 million guaranteed.

“It makes me feel really good. I love it here. I've loved every minute here,” Wirfs said. “We're a real tight-knit group, I think, across the board. ... Everybody's got their hand in the pile. It meant a lot to me that everyone's really excited and happy for me.”
