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.
