TAMPA, Fla — Fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may remember when the biggest concern for the franchise was who would replace Tom Brady at quarterback.

Baker Mayfield came to town and settled those fears, and now he’s here to stay. The Bucs are getting their offensive band back together.

The team and quarterback agreed over the weekend to a new three-year contract and discussed it Wednesday during a news conference.

Mayfield said he had heard good things about the organization and General Manager Jason Licht before he signed ahead of the 2023 season.

“None of those words were a lie,” he said. “Obviously, knew Coach (Todd) Bowles coming into it, got to know Jason pretty quicky. And just knowing the staff and the key pieces they had here were obviously a good look to try and sign here.”

The No. 1 overall pick from the 2018 draft threw for a career-best 4,044 yards and 28 touchdowns last season while cutting down on costly mistakes that undermined previous stints with the Cleveland Browns, Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Rams.

Financial terms were not disclosed, but the Tampa Bay Times reported Mayfield, 28, will receive $30 million in 2024 and $30 million in 2025, with $20 million guaranteed in the second year of the deal. The quarterback’s salary would increase to $40 million in 2026, the newspaper said.

The agreement with Mayfield came just days after Tampa Bay finalized a two-year, $52 million deal with receiver Mike Evans, who also passed up an opportunity to test his worth in free agency.
