    Offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came to terms on a five-year, $140 million contract extension it was reported on Thursday.

    Per NFL.com:

    The former No. 13 overall pick was slated to enter the final year of his rookie contract. Wirfs had been practicing on a limited basis during training camp — keeping him out of padded practices — as sides worked on the deal.

    Wirfs spent his first three seasons in Tampa at right tackle, earning a first-team All-Pro nod and two Pro Bowls. Last year, the first-rounder seamlessly moved to left tackle, protecting Baker Mayfield’s blind side. Not always an easy transition, Wirfs made it look like child’s play, earning another Pro Bowl.

    The Bucs were doling out the bucks this offseason and into training camp.
