Per NFL.com:
The former No. 13 overall pick was slated to enter the final year of his rookie contract. Wirfs had been practicing on a limited basis during training camp — keeping him out of padded practices — as sides worked on the deal.
Wirfs spent his first three seasons in Tampa at right tackle, earning a first-team All-Pro nod and two Pro Bowls. Last year, the first-rounder seamlessly moved to left tackle, protecting Baker Mayfield’s blind side. Not always an easy transition, Wirfs made it look like child’s play, earning another Pro Bowl.
