Antoine Winfield Jr

   The Buccaneers signed All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr. to a four-year, $81.4 million contract extension, including $45 million in guarantees. The deal was a major cog to fall into place not only for the Bucs’ 2024 season but the foreseeable future.

According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, Winfield Jr.’s deal includes a $20 million signing bonus. His 2024 base salary is $4 million, all guaranteed, dropping his cap figure from $17.1 million on the franchise tag to $9 million.

Winfield Jr.’s base salary goes up to $21 million, fully guaranteed, in 2025, $19.5 million in 2026 and $18.5 million in 2026, giving him cap figures of $26 million, $24.5 million and $23.5 million over those three years. After 2025, his contract will only have $10 million in dead money against the Bucs’ cap.
