Tristan Wirfs deserves to get the bag, but he's a team player, too.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht has made it abundantly clear that he will take care of his star players before looking elsewhere. He did that this offseason by re-signing the likes of QB Baker Mayfield, LB Lavonte David and WR Mike Evans before making S Antoine Winfield Jr. the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history.
"Our situations are different, because he is playing under the fifth-year option. So there's a difference there, where it was free agency with mine. When it comes down to Tristan, everybody knows he's a team guy," said Mayfield. "At a certain point, does he deserve to be paid? Absolutely. The guy's a stud. He took the transition from right to left with ease, did it better than I think he thought he was going to. But yeah, you just trust in that process.
