Mayfield secures three-year, $55M/year extension through 2029 with Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield agreed to a three-year, $165 million extension ($55 million per year) with the Buccaneers, securing his role as Tampa Bay's starter through the 2029 season. The deal resolves contract uncertainty after Mayfield had initially cut off extension talks at the start of training camp, citing feeling disrespected by the team's offer. Both sides returned to negotiations after a break and reached agreement, preventing Mayfield from playing out a contract year. Mayfield has been the Bucs' starter for the last three seasons, leading them to a division title and postseason win in his first year (2023), though the team finished 8-9 in 2025 and missed the postseason.
