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."

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
