Baker Mayfield reportedly agrees to US$165m Buccaneers extension
The reported three-year deal would keep Tampa Bay’s quarterback under contract beyond the final year of his existing agreement.
Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reportedly agreed to a three-year contract extension worth US$165 million, ESPN reported, with the deal averaging US$55 million per season.
The agreement has not been formally confirmed by the Buccaneers or Mayfield in the supplied material. Details including guarantees, signing bonuses and other conditions have not been provided.
The reported salary would place Mayfield joint-third among NFL quarterbacks by average annual value, according to Spotrac. That comparison may change as further contracts are agreed.
Mayfield joined Tampa Bay on a reported one-year, US$4 million contract in 2023 before signing a three-year, US$100 million extension in 2024. He has since recorded a reported 27–24 regular-season record and made two playoff appearances with the Buccaneers.
His strongest season came in 2024, when he recorded career highs of 4,500 passing yards and 41 touchdowns. Tampa Bay is now seeking to reclaim the NFC South title from the Carolina Panthers.
