Report: Buccaneers’ Winfield Jr. becomes highest-paid DB in NFL history

Antoine Winfield Jr. is going where no defensive back has gone before.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made their star safety the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history on Monday when he signed a four-year, $84.1-million deal, according to multiple reports.

The deal includes $45 million in guaranteed money.

The Bucs reached a deal with Winfield after placing a franchise tag on him in March.

A first-team All-Pro last season, Winfield helped the Bucs win the NFC South last year and advance to the divisional round of the playoffs.

Winfield won the Super Bowl in his rookie season after the Bucs selected the Minnesota product in the second round (45th overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft.
