Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has agreed to a three-year, $165 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid player in franchise history. The deal, reported by ESPN and NFL Network sources, extends Mayfield’s time with the Buccaneers through the 2029 season. Mayfield was previously in the final year of a three-year, $100 million contract signed in March 2024, earning $33.33 million annually, ranking 16th among NFL quarterbacks.
The extension averages $55 million per year. The Buccaneers announced the agreement Tuesday, though did not disclose the financial terms.

The contract extension solidifies Mayfield’s position as a key player for the Buccaneers, after a 2023 season where he completed 64.6% of his passes for 3,105 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions.
