Mayfield locked in as Buccaneers franchise QB with $55M/year extension through 2026.

Baker Mayfield signed a 3-year, $165 million contract extension with the Buccaneers ($55 million per year), solidifying his place as the franchise quarterback through 2026 and beyond. The deal represents the richest contract in Buccaneers history and ranks among the top QB salaries in the NFL, matching Stafford, Lawrence, Love, Allen, and Burrow, trailing only Prescott and Mahomes. This reversal from offseason tensions—when Mayfield called initial offers 'disrespectful' and broke off talks—signals organizational confidence in a rebound after a disappointing 2025 campaign marked by injuries and team dysfunction.
