NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero is reporting that the Green Bay Packers have signed right tackle Zach Tom to a four-year extension that will have him receive a $30.2 million signing bonus, the largest number that has ever gone to an offensive lineman. Per Pelissero, Tom’s deal is worth up to a maximum of $92 million over four years with a $88 million base. The other $4 million likely comes in the form of incentives.
This is pretty on par with the rest of the non-left tackle market. For example, Kansas City Chiefs guard Trey Smith signed a four-year deal worth $94 million about a week ago.
