Jensen has agreed to a three-year extension with the Buccaneers. He has an opportunity to receive $39 million.
With this new deal, he is guaranteed to make $23 million.
The Buccaneers now keep Jensen off the market with this announcement. The Cincinnati Bengals and other teams were expected to be interested in his services.
Now, he’s locked in with the Buccaneers. He was a priority for the team this off-season.
The team has reportedly added voidable years at the end of the three years to keep his 2022 cap number low.
Brady reportedly even went to bat for the Buccaneers to retain Jensen after he made his intentions known.

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce will be the highest-paid at $14 million once his deal becomes official for 2022. Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow is second with an average of $13.5 million per season with his four-year, $54 million extension.
