TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. agreed to a 4-year, $84.1 million deal on Monday, according to ESPN Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The contract now makes him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history. Winfield's deal also includes $45 million guaranteed, which is the most ever given to a safety.
The 25-year-old had career highs in games played, tackles, sacks, interceptions, passed deflected, forced fumbles and fumble recoveries in 2023 en route to his first-ever All-Pro selection.
Winfield joins quarterback Baker Mayfield, wide receiver Mike Evans, and linebacker Lavonte David as players who have re-signed with the team this offseason.
With those deals now in place, an extension for two-time All-Pro offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs is next up on the docket for the defending NFC South champions.
“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.
