Ahead of the 2023 season, the Buccaneers took a shot on Baker Mayfield. They gave him a one-year, $4 million deal. Mayfield started all 17 games and went 9-8 for Tampa Bay.
That helped the team win the division, and Mayfield was rewarded with a long-term deal. He signed for three-year, $100 million contract in March 2024. The Bucs had another successful season in 202,4 and they anticipate the same for 2025. On Friday morning, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported that Mayfield suffered a contusion in his throwing hand on Thursday. Mayfield will not practice on Friday and is considered day-to-day.
