From the article

Mayfield is due to become a free agent next offseason. His contract includes void years in 2027 and 2028, both of which will trigger on Feb. 16, 2027, per Spotrac. The Buccaneers would likely place the franchise tag on Mayfield ahead of the start of free agency on March 11, 2027 barring a no-tag clause in his current contract.

Mayfield heads to free agency; Bucs missed extension deadline after 2024 deal.

Mayfield is entering free agency after the Buccaneers missed the extension deadline; he signed a three-year, $100 million extension ($33.33 million AAV, $50 million guaranteed) in 2024 after proving himself on a one-year, $4 million deal in 2023, and his contract includes void years in 2027 and 2028 that trigger Feb. 16, 2027, setting up a likely franchise tag situation.
