Mayfield inks $165 million extension with Buccaneers to secure long-term deal

Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to a three-year, $165 million extension (avg. $55 million) ending a tense stalemate at training camp, making Mayfield the franchise's highest-paid player and tying him for among the NFL's top salaries; the deal comes as Vita Vea also landed a one-year, $30 million extension, and while Mayfield's 2024 season was strong, 2025 cooled and his 2026 trajectory remains uncertain.

Vea's Return Elevates Buccaneers’ D-Line to Elite Depth

Vita Vea signed a one-year extension that guarantees $24 million in 2027, keeping the star DT in Tampa and bolstering a now-deep, disruptive defensive line led by Bain, Kancey and Diaby; the deal fits the Buccaneers’ pattern of short-term commitments for aging stars and solidifies Week 1 readiness. Emeka Egbuka is recovering from turf toe and projected to be available for Week 1. Five preseason goals vs. the Chiefs include improved special teams, a stronger early run game, stout run defense, splash plays on defense, and staying healthy.

Vita Vea Extends Stay, McCollum Shines as Bucs Close Camp

Ahead of Saturday’s Chiefs preseason game, the Buccaneers held a lighter practice as Vita Vea signed his extension and began a gradual ramp-up process (he did not participate in this session and won’t play in the preseason). Cornerback Zyon McCollum stood out with solid coverage during the reduced drills. Coach Todd Bowles said Vea will be eased toward Week 1, while McCollum and Morrison could see snaps after missing time.

Vita Vea’s Camp Expects Trade as Buccaneers Contract Standoff Deepens

Vita Vea’s agent Collin Roberts said there’s been no progress on his contract and he expects the stalemate to end in a trade, while Buccaneers GM Jason Licht says there are no plans to trade him. Vea, 31, is in the final year of his extension, and the team has attributed early camp absences to a minor back issue. Todd Bowles indicated the Buccaneers still plan to play him this season, underscoring that keeping the star DT is key for Tampa Bay’s NFC South hopes.

Vita Vea Trade Sparks Rams as Betting Favorite

Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea has formally requested a trade as contract talks stall, leaving Tampa Bay amid a major roster overhaul. Oddsmakers list the Los Angeles Rams as the favorite to land him, with the Chargers, 49ers, and Raiders also in the mix, reflecting Vea’s West Coast ties and value as a run-stuffing interior lineman. He’s entering the final year of his deal with a non-guaranteed 2026 base salary and is expected to report to camp as Tampa weighs whether to extend him or maximize his trade value before free agency.

Vita Vea Trade Speculation Could Reshape the 49ers’ Defense

Vita Vea Trade Speculation Could Reshape the 49ers’ Defense

Vita Vea has requested a trade from the Buccaneers and reportedly prefers a move to California or the Raiders. With one year left on his four-year, $71 million contract, his value is likely mid-to-late third-round territory unless a team overpays. The 49ers are viewed as a plausible win-now fit, but Tampa Bay’s asking price and a possible mix of younger players plus a draft pick would shape any deal. Other potential destinations include the Rams, Chargers, and Raiders, all with varying levels of urgency to upgrade the interior; no trade is official yet and the situation remains fluid.
