The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to bring back quarterback Baker Mayfield on a three-year deal reportedly worth a max value of $115 million.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are keeping Baker Mayfield under center after the veteran quarterback agreed to a three-year deal with the team, per NFL Network. It's a three-year pact worth $100 million with $50 million guaranteed, NFL Network added. The max value of the contract is reportedly $115 million. Mayfield impressed the Buccaneers by helping them win the NFC South this past season and taking down the reigning NFC-champion Philadelphia Eagles at home in the wild-card round.
The Bucs had a huge quarterback question heading into last season with Tom Brady officially retiring, but Mayfield earned the starting role – one they'd like to see him in for years to come. Vibes were very low for the Bucs this time last year after Brady made his second retirement and the future of the quarterback position became a major question to be answered. The Bucs brought in Mayfield, who had been with the Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Rams the year prior.
After going 1-5 with the Panthers and 1-3 with the Rams, Mayfield’s future in the NFL went from first overall franchise quarterback to backup quarterback status. But he had a chance to win the Bucs job and did much more than that in 2023. Mayfield set career highs in passing yards and passing touchdowns while throwing 10 interceptions and owning a 64.3% completion rate – again, a career-high. The Bucs went 9-8 with him leading the offense, enough to win a mediocre NFC South title.
Now, he’s a franchise quarterback again. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
