The Oakland Raiders and left tackle Donald Penn agreed to a two-year, extension, the team announced Friday. The deal is worth $21 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Entering the season in the final year of his contract, Penn held out during training camp. He reportedly hoped to be paid like a top-10 left tackle, and will apparently come in just shy of that mark in terms of average salary.
Trent Williams leads the position at $13.6 million per season and Andrew Whitworth ranks 10th at $11.25 million.
Penn plays a pivotal role on an offensive line that also includes much-heralded guards Kelechi Osemele and Gabe Jackson, and center Rodney Hudson. Hudson signed a five-year, $44.5-million deal in 2015, Osemele earned a five-year, $58.5-million contract last offseason, and Jackson signed a five-year, $55-million extension in June.
The offensive line takes up more than a quarter of the team's cap dollars.
