Dynasty | The Bucs have signed quarterback Baker Mayfield to a three-year deal worth $100 million. Dynasty Analysis: Mayfield gets a healthy $30 million guaranteed in year one, with just $10 million guaranteed in each of the following two years. The contract ensures Mayfield is the opening day starter this season but also isn't something that's going to destroy Tampa's salary cap long-term. In the end, it's a win-win for both parties. Mayfield will look to repeat his first 4,000 yard campaign and see if he can also hit 30 touchdown passes for the first time in his career. He'll be best served as a QB2 this year but you could do worse in a bye week or if your starter goes down.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has reached a three-year extension with the organization. The former No. 1 overall pick has agreed to a three-year, $100 million extension. The deal reportedly includes $50 million in guaranteed money and Mayfield can earn up to $115 million over the next three seasons. This is a well-earned extension for Mayfield who did fantastic in his first year with Tampa Bay. Mayfield threw for over 4,000 yards with 28 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while leading the team to a postseason victory. The Bucs have already brought back Mike Evans and now Mayfield as they look to defend their division title.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and impending free-agent QB Baker Mayfield have agreed to terms on a three-year deal worth up to $115 million that includes $50 million guaranteed, per sources on Sunday, March 10.

Fantasy Spin: After reviving his career with the Buccaneers in 2024, Mayfield will remain in Tampa Bay, which was always the most likely scenario. The former No. 1 overall pick will enter next season as a solid QB2.

From TheHuddle

Mar 8 6:03pm ET

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans said he is extremely confident that impending free-agent QB Baker Mayfield will re-sign with the Buccaneers this offseason.

Fantasy Spin: The Buccaneers still have a few days to talk with Mayfield before other teams can start checking in with him, so fantasy players should monitor the situation. He played well this past season but probably will only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in 2024.

From TheHuddle

Mar 6 7:00pm ET

Outside of quarterback and linebacker -- quarterback Baker Mayfield and linebackers Lavonte David and Devin White are free agents -- The Athletic's Dan Pompei writes that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' most glaring offseason need in 2024 is probably at edge rusher, especially with the team planning to release Shaquil Barrett. Tampa hit on rookie defensive lineman YaYa Diaby (7.5 sacks) and defensive tackle Calijah Kancey (four sacks) last year, but they are going to need more juice up front moving forward. Expect the Buccaneers to target pass-rushers in both free agency and the upcoming NFL draft.

From RotoBaller

Mar 4 9:53pm ET

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent QB Baker Mayfield's agent had positive contract talks with the Buccaneers at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, according to sources.

Fantasy Spin: The Buccaneers have a little less than a week to talk to Mayfield before he can test the free-agent market. He played well this past season and has a good chance to reach an agreement with the Bucs. He probably will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in most leagues if he re-signs.

From TheHuddle

Mar 4 5:13pm ET

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent QB Baker Mayfield is a player the New England Patriots will be interested in once free agency begins, but the Patriots seem to be a long shot to sign Mayfield.

Fantasy Spin: Mayfield will receive interest from multiple teams if he hits the market and will likely will for play for playoff contender. The Patriots likely will look for a quarterback in both free agency and the 2024 NFL Draft, but their starter probably will only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback. Mayfield probably will also be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback wherever he signs.

From TheHuddle

Mar 3 2:10pm ET

New England Patriots personnel leader Eliot Wolf and newly hired Alonzo Highsmith both played a pivotal role in drafting quarterback Baker Mayfield first overall five years ago when they were with the Cleveland Browns, which has ESPN's Jeremy Fowler connecting the dots and suggesting that the Patriots could look to sign Mayfield in free agency this offseason. The Patriots could sign a veteran signal-caller like Mayfield and then trade the third overall pick in this year's NFL draft for more draft capital, which is desperately needed. If the Minnesota Vikings end up re-signing quarterback Kirk Cousins (Achilles) to a long-term extension, Mayfield will be the top free-agent QB on the market after his career-best season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2023.

Mar 2 1:13pm ET

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent QB Baker Mayfield is expected to be a target of the Atlanta Falcons in free agency if the team can't acquire Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields in a trade, per sources on Saturday, March 2.

Fantasy Spin: Mayfield revived his career with the Buccaneers in 2023 and should garner interest from QB-needy teams if he doesn't return to Tampa Bay. He makes a ton of sense for Atlanta, a team that has a major question mark under center ahead of next season. Mayfield should be viewed as a QB2 entering 2024.

Dynasty | Speculation is out there connecting Baker Mayfield to the Falcons. Dynasty Analysis: Take this with a shaker of salt but this isn't the first tweet or mention connecting Mayfield to the Falcons we've seen over the past few weeks. Fact is, until he re-signs with Tampa Bay, he's going to be mentioned in conjunction with most teams needing a quarterback. If he was to land in Atlanta, it could bode well for his fantasy value but we'll wait and see what happens over the coming weeks. Regardless, Mayfield looks like a player who is again a clear starter in the NFL and has the looks of a QB2 moving into next season.

Right now it looks likely that impending free-agent quarterback Baker Mayfield will re-sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason, but NFL Network's Tom Pelissero mentions the Atlanta Falcons as a dark-horse candidate to get involved. Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that re-signing Mayfield is an "extremely high priority" after the former first overall pick had the best season of his career in Tampa in 2023. New Falcons head coach Raheem Morris and offensive coordinator Zac Robinson know Mayfield from his short stint with the Rams at the end of 2022. Atlanta is seriously looking to upgrade the QB position this offseason over Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke, and Mayfield would represent an upgrade. However, all signs are pointing to the Bucs and Mayfield running it back in 2024.

From RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent QB Baker Mayfield could have the Atlanta Falcons as a dark horse option to sign him.

Fantasy Spin: Mayfield had a resurgent season last year and was on the apex of QB1/QB2 thanks to significant injuries at the position. He'll be a QB2/matchup play wherever he signs.

Feb 23 2:13pm ET

Dynasty | Pending free agent quarterback Baker Mayfield has begun contract negotiations with Tampa Bay. Dynasty Analysis: This makes a lot of sense for a couple of reasons. In short, Tampa Bay doesn't have the draft capital to make a move for an elite rookie without mortgaging the future and Mayfield was also pretty good last season. Signed to compete with Kyle Trask last off-season, Baker had one of his best seasons after being named the starter, leading the Bucs to the playoffs and throwing for a career high 4,044 yards and 28 touchdowns with just ten interceptions. He's going to be best-served as a dynasty QB2 but it seems his days as a starter weren't quite over after he was left for dead by the Panthers.

Feb 23 2:10pm ET

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and impending free-agent quarterback Baker Mayfield have started "preliminary talks about a new contract" this offseason. General manager Jason Licht is expected to meet with Mayfield's representation during the NFL scouting combine next week. After the 28-year-old Mayfield had a career season in his first year in Tampa in 2023, it's expected that there is mutual interest in a reunion for 2024 and beyond. Mayfield had a career-high 4,044 passing yards, 28 touchdowns and 10 interceptions and even led the Bucs to a wild-card playoff victory over the Eagles. The former No. 1 overall pick won't have offensive coordinator Dave Canales working with him in 2024, though, and there's a possibility he'll also lose top wideout Mike Evans in free agency. Mayfield's fantasy appeal as a solid QB2 would take a big hit if he doesn't have Evans to rely on.

Feb 23 11:53am ET

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield has had preliminary talks with the team about a new contract, according to sources Friday, Feb. 23. Mayfield is slated to be an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins in March.

Fantasy Spin: Mayfield averaged 16.1 fantasy points per game and finished a week as a QB1 in eight of his games during the 2023 season. His best fit likely is returning to the Bucs on a new deal where he would be viewed as a high-end QB2 option for fantasy.

From TheHuddle

Feb 20 9:53pm ET

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield had 20 of his passes batted down at the line of scrimmage this past season, which was tied for most in the NFL.

Feb 20 11:53am ET

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent QB Baker Mayfield won't receive the franchise tag from the team as they plan to use it on S Antoine Winfield Jr.

Fantasy Spin: Mayfield finished as the QB12 on the season, but there were an abundance of injuries this year. He's a midrange QB2 that can be used in good matchups.

From TheHuddle

Feb 18 8:43pm ET

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent QB Baker Mayfield's next contract likely 'would be a tick above' the three-year, $75 million deal signed by Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith during the 2023 offseason, according to Jonathan Jones of CBSSports.com.

From TheHuddle

Feb 18 6:33pm ET

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent QB Baker Mayfield is expected to be a candidate for the franchise tag this offseason.

Fantasy Spin: The Buccaneers have multiple options for the tag, but Mayfield may be the biggest candidate for the tag if the two sides are not able to reach a long-term agreement. He is coming off a very good season but probably will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in 2024.
