Buccaneers, QB Baker Mayfield agree to extension

Pro Football Talk

Sep 08 · 6:15 PM EDT

Apparently, Baker Mayfield is no longer feeling disrespected.

According to a joint report from NFL Network and ESPN, Mayfield and the Buccaneers have agreed to a three-year extension, putting him under contract through the 2029 season.

Fantasy Impact:

The deal is reportedly worth $165 million, which works out to $55 million a year, the story said. Mayfield had cut off extension talks at the beginning of training camp, telling reporters at the time that he had felt disrespected by the Bucs’ offer to him. But he also kept the door open to his agent potentially still talking numbers with the team, the story said. Those who follow the team reported things weren't as bad between the two sides as many thought, however. The story added Mike Garafolo reported the two sides weren't that far apart at the start of camp. From a fantasy perspective, Mayfield enters this season ranked 18th among our QBs, making for a lower-end QB2 option.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield says he turned down a two-year deal from Tampa Bay

Jeremy Fowler

Jul 30 · 12:40 PM EDT

Baker Mayfield tells ESPN the Bucs offered him a two-year deal, which was ‘probably the most disappointing’ part. Wanted long-term commitment.

Added Bucs were ‘pretty far’ from $50+M per club, which he wanted to enter.

Fantasy Impact:

It's becoming more and more likely that Mayfield hits the open market post-2026, which adds an intriguing wrinkle to his Dynasty outlook. As for this season, he's still behind a great offensive line, with a nice WR room, which makes him a viable QB2 or a great streaming option, should he go undrafted.

Buccaneers, QB Baker Mayfield not expected to sign deal before season

ESPN

Jul 28 · 11:16 AM EDT

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is reporting to training camp without a new deal in hand.

Sources told ESPN that Mayfield and his agent have not made significant progress with the Bucs on a new contract. A deal is largely not expected by the start of the Bucs' first camp practice on July 29, but there is still time to sort through it and potentially reach a deal, sources added.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story said, Mayfield has one year remaining on his contract, which will expire at the end of the 2026 regular season. Sources close to the situation have said that he would like a deal that reflects his performance and is more in line with what quarterbacks of a similar caliber are making, which includes leading the Bucs to two straight playoff appearances in 2023 and 2024.

Jaguars Beat: QB Trevor Lawrence progress worth the wait

The Athletic

Dec 23, 2025 · 9:51 AM EST

Liam Coen’s offense, which is loaded with principles from his four seasons with Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay, was always going to take time to implement with the Jaguars. Before the season, a source with knowledge of the system predicted it would take at least half the year before Trevor Lawrence felt comfortable, and that his trajectory might not truly begin to soar until 2026. Considering Coen’s success in 2024 with quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, along with the impression he left with two seasons at Kentucky, there was confidence Lawrence’s progress would be worth the wait.

Fantasy Impact:

The author pointed out the trend up may carry right through 2026 before we see the final result. It will be worth nothing for fantasy owners who may already be looking ahead to next season's draft rankings. Lawrence is very likely to climb QB ranks heading into drafts next summer. The story pointed out the trade for Jakobi Meyers and the return of TE Brenton Strange has helped everyone in the offense, even Brian Thomas Jr. who has mostly struggled this season. While the Jags are not dominating the run game, the author said the commitment to the run and the balance have helped the offense. Lawrence is also being used as a designed runner.
