When brainstorming Saturday The different quarters which should for new contracts after Brock Purdy obtained his second contract, I knew that I was going to forget to mention someone.
And, of course, I did it.
The Buccaneers quarterrier, Baker Mayfield, which is in the second year of a $ 100 million contract over three years, is underpaid compared to the other veterans starting quarters. Of course, this makes it a very good deal for the BUCs, who pay $ 33.3 million a year for a quarter of the top 10.
This year, the Mayfield ceiling number is a very affordable 23.875 million dollars.
An extension and an increase becomes likely next year. It was at this time that the number of Mayfield ceiling increased to nearly $ 50 million, fueled by a salary of $ 40 million.
However, it takes place, Mayfield continues to play better than most quarters. It is incredible, with hindsight, that it was available to all those who wanted to sign it in 2024 Рand person who needed a quarter -Arri̬re leaving after the 2023 season (Patriots, Steelers, Titans, Raiders, Broncos, Commanders, Giants, Vikings, Bears, Falcons) seemed to Mayfield a serious consideration Draft Class Inomin.
While the list of quarter-arre contracts takes place, Mayfield is currently at the bottom of the top 20. It is the least well-paid starting quarterrier and not on a recruited contract other than the quarter of the Justin Fields jets (if it seems, it seems that he wins the starting work) and the quarter-tree Giants Russell Wilson (if he could not do it, he wins the work QB1).
On his credit, Mayfield gave no indication that he is not satisfied with his contract. If anything, it is happy that, after having crawled with freedom Five hundred meters of fragrant pregnancy I can’t even imagineHe finally found a long -term house of the NFL.
It’s good for Mayfield. It’s good for Buccaneers. And, by next year, he will probably get a new agreement that pushes him much higher on the top list of the best paid NFL.
As it should be.
