On Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stunned the football world by extending their contract with quarterback Baker Mayfield. The 2-time Pro Bowl selection was entering the final season of a 3-year, $100 million deal that had been signed prior to the 2024 season. According to sources, Mayfield had broken off negotiations as training camp began, but as the regular season commenced, the team and quarterback resumed talks and came to an agreement.
The extension is a massive $165 million deal over three years, with Mayfield remaining under contract through the 2029 season. If Mayfield maintains his health, this contract would grant him control over all of the franchise's career passing records. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that this is the largest contract in Buccaneers history. Greg Auman of Fox Sports NFL called it a "surprise," while Mike Garafolo of NFL Network stated that "Talks quietly rekindled recently. Deal done. Contract year no more."
