Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers agree to massive three-year contract extension​

The massive contract ends tense negotiations which seemingly came to a pause at the start of training camp​

Baker Mayfield got the contract he wanted, after all. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their quarterback are in agreement on a new three-year extension, the team announced on Tuesday, which ends one of the off season's most high-profile contract standoffs.

The deal is worth $165 million, which makes its average annual value a whopping $55 million, CBS Sports' Pete Prisco confirmed. That salary places Mayfield in a tie for the third-highest-paid quarterback in the league, matching him with Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Jordan Love, Trevor Lawrence and Matthew Stafford. Mayfield becomes the highest-paid player in franchise history.

The timing of the agreement is entirely surprising given that Mayfield and the Buccaneers had seemingly shut down their negotiations at the start of training camp. Mayfield made it clear that he wanted to have a deal in place by the time he reported to practice and said that he would not resume talks until after the 2026 season. The parties seemingly continued to work toward a deal in the background, though, as they came to terms just in time for the start of the campaign.

Here are the 10 highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL, per Over The Cap.

Player	Team	AAV
Patrick Mahomes	Chiefs	$64 million
Dak Prescott	Cowboys	$60 million
Baker Mayfield	Buccaneers	$55 million
Joe Burrow	Bengals	$55 million
Josh Allen	Bills	$55 million
Jordan Love	Packers	$55 million
Trevor Lawrence	Jaguars	$55 million
Matthew Stafford	Rams	$55 million
Jared Goff	Lions	$53 million
Brock Purdy	49ers	$53 million

More than anything, I was making a comparison between W Mich and that really bad Toledo team that beat TCUN. Of course you would expect most top 25 teams to handle them with ease, unless of course you are a bunch of arrogant twatwaffle weasel cocks.

Western is a good MAC team but that means even less than ever in this era of college football. Most top 25 teams would probably have not much of an issue with them.

Heck last year WMU won 10 games, but Sparty (a bad 4-8 B1G team) beat them 23-6 and Illinois beat them 38-0 just for context.

Funny thing is, Western Michigan is defending MAC Champs and expected to contend for the title again this year. When Toledo beat them, it was a bad Toledo team that finished the season 3-8.

Picking the best college football team in each state ahead of the 2026 season

As the new season nears kickoff, we're picking the best Division I college football teams in every state

Picking the best college football team in each state ahead of the 2026 season​

From Alabama to Wyoming, and everywhere in between, these are the best Division I college football teams in every state​

OHIO -- Ohio State: This one was obvious as the Buckeyes remain serious national championship contenders under Ryan Day. In fact, they may be the favorite to win it all in 2026. Heisman Trophy finalist Julian Sayin is back to throw to fellow Heisman Trophy candidate Jeremiah Smith behind what should be an elite offensive line. On defense, Matt Patricia has been paid handsomely to keep working his magic.

Oklahoma has a solid defense this year. I also think Michigan will have a decent defense. I follow the west coast guys/cordinators. Michigan is lucky to have a guy like Jay Hill who is famous for his defenses creating turnovers. Oklahoma doesn’t need to be uber aggressive or do anything stupid on offense. Eventually Michigan’s offense will do something stupid. Just be patient until Underwood goes full retard. He should have had 3 picks on Saturday.

Oklahoma's D is legit but their offense is not, its blah enough to be liable to be responsible for making things interesting even if the defense is 100% on.

and how exactly did LSU do that?

Texas, Texas A&M, Missouri, Mississippi State, Kentucky, and South Carolina all have “former NFL” guys sitting in the same holster that LSU does.

so that’s six (that i’m aware of) schools doing literally the exact same thing they allegedly want to expel LSU for.

so it can’t be that.

Oklahoma fucking better not go up there and soil themselves and do a bunch of dumb shit that lets scUM somehow win that game on Saturday. Oklahoma is exactly the kind of team that does something like that, bullshit breaks constantly going this dirty program's way is beyond tiring.

at first i thought this was just a dick measuring contest.

but it’s escalated beyond that now.

i’m still a heavy lean toward this will somehow all shake out in the end.

but the harder the SEC pushes this one i start wondering “what do they have on him?”

because if all they have is what has been publicly stated, the conference will lose in embarrassing fashion.

seriously right now they have (publicly)
“two unnamed sources in a a newspaper article”
“they intend to maybe do something later”
“they left two roster spots empty” (half the conference does that every fucking year)
“he was a meany head at halftime”


so either they’re holding some bomb that we don’t know about yet …. or this is one of the ballsiest bluffs in recent memory.

Let's not speak it into existence, shall we?

(we're all thinking it)

Then again, we all thought the same thing in 2007. They would bounce back from the embarrassment and Oregon is the type of team that never wins a big game on the road etc etc etc

They beat the shit out of tsun.

I'm going to trust my eyes and say tsun is simply a bad team with a terrible QB, there is no hidden gear and there is no Connor Stallions advantage. There are some more losses in their future.
