TAMPA, Fla. -- The Buccaneers locked up an important piece of their offensive line, signing left guard Ali Marpet to a five-year contract extension that will keep him with the club through 2023.
Sources told ESPN that the deal is for five years, $55 million with $27.125 guaranteed, making him one of the highest-paid left guards in the league.
Marpet is one of a handful of key players in the final year of their contracts this season, along with left tackle Donovan Smith and middle linebacker Kwon Alexander -- all of whom the Bucs have been working to try and re-sign.
