No, let’s keep him in TB. Find the $$$ Bucs!
Tristan Wirfs did not report to OTAs (Organized Team Activities). Seeks Long Term Deal
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Tampa Bay definitely prioritized & found the money for the QB position.
On March 10, Tampa Bay's starting QB got paid. Baker Mayfield signed a 3 year, $100M contract, including a $28.875M signing bonus. $50M of the $100M is guaranteed.
His Salary Cap Hit:
....$6.9M:.......2024
$35.8M:......2025
$45.8M:......2026
They have around 47 million in cap space from what I can see.
I have no idea. 30% of my sports attention and energy is focused on hawkeye football, 30% on Caitlin, 20% on mens hawkeye baseketball, 15% hawkeyes in the NFL, and 5% on women's hawkeye basketball post caitlin.
it must be a crazy jig saw puzzle trying to fit all the contracts within the cap
Great for Tristan!
He will still be in his prime in 2029 when he will get another deal.
Coming from modest means, he can take care of his mom in grand style!

The Adam Schefter tweet above got cut off.

As a Bucs fan, this pleases me to know the team has him for a while.
I would retire at that point and hopefully live a full long healthy comfortable life.
Hopefully Iowa is sending this info to current OL recruiting targets
I don't remember which one (maybe McShay), but some supposed draft guru jackass tried to say that Wirfs wouldn't thrive at tackle in the NFL because his arms were too short. Yeah, that aged well!
Craziness:
$72,542 every single day of every year
$3,023 per hour for every hour of the 6 year contract even whilst sleeping or shitting on the pot.
As a Vikings fan, I was really hoping he would hit free agency.
I work with an aunt of his that helped raise him and she said he actually enjoys iowa winters and misses snow. I thought there was a chance but apparently my influence didn’t work 😜
Who would be the next OL-man who will demand more (and get more) money than Tristan?
Trent Williams is a bad example because of his age (he turned 36 on July 19) but he is another example of an elite OL-man holding out for more money.

Status: Holding out of camp
An 11-time Pro Bowl anchor for the 49ers' front, the veteran left tackle is owed more than any offensive linemen in the NFL in 2024, but he skipped the start of training camp over contract concerns, coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters.
It's possible he's seeking additional guarantees at the end of the six-year extension he inked back in 2021, which pays him in excess of $30 million per season through 2026.

Which notable names still have contract issues?

"additional guarantees" probably shouldn't be necessary if he saved and invested wisely some of that $90M in earnings since 2021.
He also has another $30M coming to him this year, so even if he were to retire after the season, you'd think he would have enough to live a very comfortable life.
Just on this contract alone, not anything from his years in Buffalo, let's say conservatively at least $20M (after taxes/agent fees/bad investments/living expenses, etc.) should be sitting in his bank account.
In addition, in his 14 prior seasons, he's earned $168,658,608.
