Tristan Wirfs Is A Very Rich Man
August 1st, 2024
Cash register rings.
The long Tampa Bay nightmare for so many Bucs fans is over. Tristan Wirfs and the Bucs have a deal in place.
Per BSPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Bucs’ starting left tackle Wirfs and the Bucs came to an agreement: five years, $140 million. Not bad for Mr. Wirfs and his young family.
Jordan Schultz also twittered out the news at the same time Schefter did.
That will buy you a few Maid-Rites.
Rest easy, Bucs fans. Wirfs will be around for a few years.

Great job Jason, Mike, and Jacky! Congrats to Wirfs and I’m happy he’ll be here for the long haul. Let’s go Bucs!
August 1st, 2024 at 8:19 am
Lets get in those 11-11 drills now big guy!! You earned that payday! Go Bucs!!
August 1st, 2024 at 8:19 am
Did not doubt that it would happen
August 1st, 2024 at 8:19 am
Outstanding!
Dumb question, is this 5-years in addition to this year, or does this replace the final year?
August 1st, 2024 at 8:21 am
Not sure. Wirfs will likely talk later this morning. Maybe Jason Licht, too.
August 1st, 2024 at 8:22 am
Let’s gooooooo!
August 1st, 2024 at 8:23 am
GO BUCS

Wirf$ $ure de$erve$ it!
August 1st, 2024 at 8:26 am
Wirf every penny
August 1st, 2024 at 8:29 am
Bucs feel like a first rate organization the way they have been able to retain talent the last couple of years. Congrats to wirfs.

Well deserved. He was the best RT in the NFL, was moved to the left side, and he was every bit as good as Trent Williams (if he’s still the standard). In my mind he’s Hall of Fame bound for sure.
August 1st, 2024 at 8:31 am
@Leighroy- Schefter’s tweet says that Wirfs is now contracted through the 2029 season so that would suggest it’s five years in addition to his 5th year option.
August 1st, 2024 at 8:39 am
Awesome news! What does this mean for Chris Godwin now?
August 1st, 2024 at 8:43 am
Hell Yeah!
August 1st, 2024 at 8:45 am
But the media will still down us because we didn’t make any splashy free agent signings and so didn’t “get any better,” when the four players we re-signed would have been huge free agent splashes if they’d signed for any another team. Keeping your guys is so undervalued these days.
August 1st, 2024 at 8:45 am
Now let’s give Mayfield an extension that he deserves to be the highest paid QB in the league! His stats show he’s earned it!
August 1st, 2024 at 8:47 am
This is fantastic news. Well deserved!
August 1st, 2024 at 8:48 am
Players around the league are loving the Bucs right now but front offices hate us, we had two players reset the market in one offseason
August 1st, 2024 at 8:48 am
NFL.com says he will be paid $158,869,000 over the next 6 years.
August 1st, 2024 at 8:49 am
Knew it was going to get done, just relieved to have it written in stone finally! Never want to see a different jersey on the man. His next stop should be Canton!
August 1st, 2024 at 8:51 am
I like the vibe of this team.
August 1st, 2024 at 8:55 am
The rich getting richer good for him but damn money being tossed around inflation is real yo

Curious if we gained a bit more cap space now that his deal is complete? Maybe now we can dump Gregory and convince Shaq to return.
August 1st, 2024 at 9:08 am
Lets gooo
I love our front office. ‘Far apart’ my 4ss lol
August 1st, 2024 at 9:13 am
Guess they weren’t as “far apart ” as reported
August 1st, 2024 at 9:17 am
The stars are aligning for the Bucs. Let’s go!
August 1st, 2024 at 9:23 am
Was never worried.
August 1st, 2024 at 9:25 am
@Nate
That 99.9% he is gone next year, maybe this one….And that will hurt, CG14 nothing but a

Getting this done before Trent Williams’ deal was shrewd. Licht continues to plow forward as a top GM. Congrats Tristan! I said you’d be our best lineman ever when you were a rookie. Feeling pretty good about that prediction. Sorry Paul…
August 1st, 2024 at 9:37 am
Big Money Wirfs, Big Knots.
August 1st, 2024 at 10:15 am
Absolutely beautiful. Wirfs is probably our most valuable player. Jason Licht is a top 5 NFL GM.
August 1st, 2024 at 10:15 am
Like to see him jump out of a pool with saddlebags of cash….
August 1st, 2024 at 10:18 am
For the fan who asked if the deal starts now or added on to his last year of the rookie contract. The initial report I read said he is signed on until 2029 5 years starting this season
August 1st, 2024 at 10:26 am
Float Joe Tryon and a 1st to Jerry Jones and see if we can get Micah parsons…then use that new cap space from Tristan and sign Micah long term. A boy can dream…lol
Congrats Tristan
Go Bucs
August 1st, 2024 at 10:54 am
Good for him( and us also ).
August 1st, 2024 at 11:18 am
Glad we got that done, Tristan needs to be a Buc for life. Also heard trainers had to cart Diaby off the field… hope it’s not serious, that’s an injury we can’t afford.
August 1st, 2024 at 11:19 am
NICE! Congrats Wirfs.
I was saying 4 at 120, so we snuck in another yr for 20 more.
August 1st, 2024 at 11:31 am
Hot tamales.
Media tards trading again.
Believe in JL.
August 1st, 2024 at 12:23 pm
After I saw him jump out of the bottom of that pool in waist deep water at 325 pds. I knew he could be great, Congrats Tristan!!!!!
August 1st, 2024 at 5:31 pm
So they added 4 years on top of the remaining one and worked out a hefty raise. 5 years is a long one. Love it!
Didn’t media suggest they were far apart?
