TAMPA, Fla. — After a contentious summer, Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers have reached an agreement on a contract extension.
NFL and ESPN insider Adam Schefter said Mayfield's new deal is for three years and $165 million.
The Bucs said the deal will make him the highest-paid player in franchise history.
“This contract – the largest in the history of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - reflects our belief in Baker, and his leadership both on and off the field. His competitive spirit, resilience and commitment to winning embody everything we want in our players. Baker and his wife, Emily, have made a meaningful impact in the Tampa Bay community and we are thrilled their family will continue to call Tampa Bay home for years to come, said Buccaneers Owner/Co-Chairman Joel Glazer.
Mayfield made clear over the summer that he wanted a deal done before he played the final year of his contract.
Mayfield, 31, is entering his fourth season with Tampa Bay. He holds a record of 27-24 in the regular season and a 1-2 mark in the playoffs.
