Saints offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk has reportedly signed a five-year extension with the team. New Orleans’ premiere offensive lineman is now worth $90 million over those five years.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the news via Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.

Ramczyk is a former First Team All-Pro selection in 2019. In that season he allowed zero sacks on Drew Brees in all 16 games, somehow earning recognition as the best tackle in the league, but not making a Pro Bowl.
Since being drafted in 2017, Ramczyk has missed only one game, in 2018. He has consistently made lists of top 100 players in the NFL since arriving in the league. Signing him to an expensive long-term deal after exercising his fifth-year option in 2020 means the Saints expect him to continue to be one of the best tackles in the league.
