Baker Mayfield Agrees to $165 Million, Three-Year Extension with Bucs
- On Tuesday, quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to a three-year, $165 million contract extension, keeping him under contract through 2029 at $55 million per season.
- Mayfield had set a training camp deadline for contract talks that went unmet through the summer, leading him to tell reporters in late July he felt 'disappointing' and 'little disrespected' by the pace of negotiations.
- The $55 million annual average aligns Mayfield with elite quarterbacks including Jordan Love, Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen, per Spotrac; his 2024 season produced 4,500 passing yards and 41 touchdowns.
- Mayfield's Pro Bowl selections and consecutive NFC South titles since joining Tampa Bay in 2023 establish him as a franchise cornerstone, with the extension now providing long-term stability after a contentious summer.
- With the deal secured, Mayfield prepares for Sunday's season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium, having publicly committed to Tampa by saying 'We built roots here' and his intention to raise his family there.
