Buccaneers secure Baker Mayfield on a three-year, $165 million deal

ESPN

Baker Mayfield has agreed to a three-year deal worth $165 million, the richest contract in Buccaneers history, ESPN reports. The agreement ends the quarterback's public contract dispute before the season. Mayfield said the talks resumed without his knowledge after he had asked to put negotiations aside during training camp.

Editorial summary · Publisher article

What matters

  • The agreement keeps Tampa Bay's established starting quarterback in place; the reported total is not a statement that every dollar is guaranteed.
