The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs agreed to a five-year, $140.63 million contract, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

According to EPSN, the deal would make Wirfs the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history.

Wirfs is a three-time Pro Bowler and in the final year of his rookie contract at $18.6 million.

Earlier this week, Wirfs made it clear that he was not demanding a trade.

“I was here all offseason training,” Wirfs said. “I think everyone here knows I like it here. Just working on getting it done. It’s been good.”

He wants to stay in Tampa.

“You look back and where have four years gone? I remember my first camp out here with Tom,” he said. “I’m in the huddle with Tom Brady right now. Now, it's Baker Mayfield, Luke Goedoke; they are my best friends. Hainsey, Skule. I'm excited for it."

"We don't come home until they do."
