The NFL free agent stove is hot and Baker Mayfield is the latest signee to bring the heat.

Ian Rapoport reports that Baker Mayfield is staying in Tampa Bay to the tune of 3 years for $100 million with guaranteed money of $50 million. This is a major turnaround in Baker Mayfield’s career and signals the Buccaneers level of faith for Baker to steer the ship in Tampa Bay. The prior signing of Mike Evans and hiring of OC Liam Coen telegraphed Tampa Bay’s intent to keep Baker Mayfield, however Baker’s status with the team was only in preheat mode until the right amount of financial commitment came through.

 

Baker Mayfield was a Comeback Player of the Year Finalist in 2023. Baker threw the 7th most touchdowns in the league with 28. His 566 pass attempts were 7th in the league and his 79 deep ball attempts led the league at his position. With 4,044 passing yards on 4,849 air yards there is room for an uptick in passing yards in 2024. The trio of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Trey Palmer will be thrilled to have Baker back. Rachaad White’s versatility in the passing game flourished with Mayfield posting 549 receiving yards on 64 receptions.
