Baker Mayfield’s contract saga is over just in time, and the quarterback will be sticking around Tampa Bay for a few more years.
Mayfield and the Buccaneers agreed on a three-year contract extension worth $165 million on Tuesday, according to multiple reports, with the team set to begin the regular season Sunday.
The former No. 1 overall pick of the Browns will not hit free agency.

Mayfield, 31, has spent the past three seasons with the Buccaneers, posting a 27-24 record with two playoff appearances.
