Mayfield Signs Historic Bucs Deal | Tampa News

Baker Mayfield just locked in a jaw-dropping three-year, $165 million extension with the Buccaneers, making him the highest-paid player in franchise history — averaging $55 million annually. Despite setting a deadline for a deal before training camp and feeling disrespected by earlier offers, behind-the-scenes negotiations between GM Jason Licht and his agent got it done, extending through 2029. Mayfield insists the money won’t change his drive — he’s still laser-focused on winning a Super Bowl and giving back to his community. His offensive line teammates are thrilled, joking about Christmas gifts now that the contract’s secured. With talks behind them, the Bucs and Mayfield are all-in on the season ahead: Super Bowl or bust. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
