Buccaneers Lock in QB Mayfield with $100M, 3-Year Extension!

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have secured quarterback Baker Mayfield with a three-year, $100 million contract extension, according to ESPN.

The deal comes with $50 million in guaranteed money, split as $30 million in the first year and $20 million in the second. Additionally, Mayfield will earn $5 million per year in incentives, making this a lucrative agreement for the star QB.

In his statement, Mayfield expressed his excitement about the new chapter: \"I wanted a chance to come back. I love coach Todd Bowles and the staff. I'm happy to be here and I want to win more in the postseason.\" His enthusiasm underscores his commitment to leading the Buccaneers to victory in the upcoming seasons.

Mayfield, who was the first-overall pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2018, has had a challenging career, playing for the Browns, the Carolina Panthers, and the Los Angeles Rams. With a 31-38 record and a single playoff appearance, this extension marks a significant opportunity for Mayfield to turn his professional journey around with the Buccaneers.
