Kelechi Osemele’s deal with the Raiders worth 58.5 million for 5 years
The highest paid offensive guard in the NFL is Mike Iupati who is making 8 million a year, and according to Rand Getlin that will be shattered in a big way with the deal the Raiders just pulled off with Ravens offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele. The Raiders are expected to pay more than 10 million per year for Osemele, which will boost the offensive guard pay around the league.
