As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers make their way through offseason workouts, one obvious absence is All-Pro offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs, who is still waiting on a new long-term contract extension.
Nobody in the organization is worried about Wirfs not being around, and it’s only a matter of time before a deal gets done, but that’s not stopping his teammates from having a little fun at Wirfs’ expense.
Speaking to the media Tuesday, Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield didn’t miss the opportunity to give his best buddy a good-natured ribbing about skipping out on practice while the rest of his teammates were hard at work preparing for the upcoming season:

Wirfs will be back before you know it, and when he returns, it will be as the highest-paid offensive tackle in NFL history.
