Mayfield extension talks stall; Buccaneers' $47M franchise tag looms for 2027
Contract extension negotiations between Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have hit a standstill, with no long-term deal expected in the near term. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the $47 million franchise tag for 2027 is a likely outcome that Mayfield is reportedly open to. Having already accumulated $131.8 million in career earnings, the quarterback is not under immediate financial pressure. Mayfield heads into the 2026 season motivated to bounce back after a disappointing 8-9 campaign in 2025. His long-term financial future with the team is expected to depend heavily on his performance this coming season.
