Baker Mayfield bet on himself last season.
That can be a cliché, consider that betting on oneself usually means there's no better market available. But Mayfield gave hope to everyone else who will try.
Mayfield had a good season on a cheap one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and his bet paid off big.
Baker and the Bucs are reportedly nearing a deal that would keep Mayfield in Tampa for three years and pay him $100 million with half of that guaranteed, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
