Mayfield secures $55M/year extension through 2029, matching elite QB market tier.

Mayfield signed a three-year, $165 million extension ($55M per year) with the Buccaneers through 2029, matching the AAV of elite QBs like Joe Burrow, Matthew Stafford, Jordan Love, Trevor Lawrence, and Josh Allen. The deal comes after Mayfield threw for 3,693 yards and 25 touchdowns in 2025 despite an injury-riddled season, and he led Tampa Bay to another playoff appearance and NFC South contention. Mayfield's career trajectory—from benched in Carolina (2022) to Pro Bowl performer with the Bucs (2023–2025)—supports the long-term commitment; he threw for 4,000+ yards and 28 TDs in his first Bucs season (2023), then 41 TDs in 2024.
