Baker Mayfield's Comeback Celebrated by NFL Fans After $100M Contract with Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield is returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after signing a three-year, $100 million deal.

The deal comes following his first season as Tampa Bay's starter when he racked up 4,044 passing yards and 28 touchdowns, leading the Bucs to a divisional-round appearance.

Mayfield, the former No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, was the starter for the Cleveland Browns for four seasons, but failed to find a starting role over the last few years. He took over in Tampa Bay with big shoes to fill after Tom Brady retired, and he exceeded expectations in 2023.
