Bucs lock in Baker Mayfield on three-year, $165 million extension through 2029

The Buccaneers announced a three-year extension for Baker Mayfield worth about $165 million, keeping him under contract through the 2029 season. Owner Joel Glazer credited Mayfield’s leadership and impact, while coach Todd Bowles praised his competitiveness and accountability. Mayfield, who previously signed a one-year prove-it deal in 2023 and a three-year extension in 2024, had a stalled contract deadline before talks resumed and reached an agreement. In Tampa Bay, Mayfield has emerged as a top passer, ranking second in TD passes (95) and third in passing yards (12,237) over his first three seasons with the team and guiding them to two division titles.
