Ryan Ramczyk and Saints agree to new 5-year, $96M contract extension, making him highest-paid right tackle in NFL

The New Orleans Saints and offensive lineman Ryan Ramczyk have agreed on a five-year, $96 million contract extension Wednesday, which makes him the NFL’s highest-paid right tackle at $19.2 million annually. The extension goes into effect after the 2021 season and runs through 2026; it includes $60 million in guaranteed money.

The 6’6”, 314-pound Ramczyk joined the Saints as a first-round pick in the 2017 draft, and immediately joined New Orleans’ starting lineup as a rookie.  He has appeared in 63 of a possible 64 regular-season games over the past four years, and was voted a First-Team All-Pro in 2019.
