A formal press announcement will officially be forthcoming on Wednesday.
The two sides had been in contract negotiations prior to tomorrow’s franchise-tag deadline. Last season, he played on the franchise tag of $31.4 million.
The two-time Pro Bowl quarterback amassed 4,902 passing yards with 30 touchdowns in 2019, his last full healthy season. In 2020, he was felled by a leg injury just five games into the schedule and missed the remainder of the season.
