Mayfield seeks $50M AAV after failed Bucs extension talks; feels disrespected.

Mayfield felt 'disrespected' and 'undervalued' after failed contract extension negotiations with the Buccaneers before training camp. The two sides remained significantly apart, with Tampa Bay's offers reportedly below his desired $50 million annual average value and featuring comparatively low guarantees and no offer exceeding two years. Mayfield set a deadline to shift focus to football, stating: 'If you've waited this long to take care of your franchise quarterback, that's too bad because it's only going to get worse from here. I'm going to have a really big year.' He emphasized his career-best performance and leadership contributions, believing the organization underestimated his value.
