Baker Mayfield agrees to 3-year deal to remain Bucs' starting quarterback: report

Mayfield took over as the Bucs' starter in 2023 following Tom Brady's official retirement

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are keeping Baker Mayfield under center, as the veteran quarterback agreed to a three-year deal with the team, per NFL Network. 

It's a three-year pact worth $100 million with $50 million guaranteed, NFL Network adds. The max value of the contract is reportedly $115 million. 

Mayfield impressed the Buccaneers by helping them win the NFC South this past season, and taking down the reigning NFC-champion Philadelphia Eagles at home in the wild card round. 

The Bucs had a huge quarterback question heading into last season with Tom Brady officially retiring, but Mayfield earned the starting role – one they'd like to see him in for years to come. 

This is a developing story. More to come…
