- The Buccaneers signed Baker Mayfield to a three-year, $165 million extension (about $55M/year), tying him with Matthew Stafford for the third-highest QB average behind Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott.
- A dramatic turnaround story — Mayfield went from a $4M “prove-it” deal in 2023 to leading Tampa Bay to a 27–24 record, two playoff berths and a monster 2024 (4,500 yards, 41 TDs).
- The new deal ends the summer contract drama and shifts focus to reclaiming the NFC South after last season’s injuries to key receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
