Good move by bucs“Based on guarantees this is a 2/$60 deal with basically a team option for $40M on the third year.”
- Per Queipo
“GREAT deal for #Bucs, Baker Mayfield. 3 years w/$50 mil fully guaranteed for 2 yrs. $30 mil base in 2024 is guaranteed. If the team wants to move on after 1 yr, they'll eat $20 mil in dead cap $, but save $10 mil from his $30 mil base in '25. $40 mil base in '26 not guaranteed.”
- Per Scott Reynolds
I bet we trade him now for Sam Darnold
save some big $$
$40m too much for a QB of his caliber. Maybe $30m/yr with some incentives, two years max, $40m guaranteed.
His overall stats for the season are good, but he had too many below average games. Plus the team finished at .529, .526 including the playoff games. He still has much to prove, and if he lifts this team to more regular season wins, and some playoff wins, he'll have earned bigger money.
pretty close!!!

Spot on with the guarantee. Good job!
It actually is $40M in guaranteed with $10M guaranteed for injury.
Kudos to Licht and Greenberg on this one.

Let’s all enjoy this one for a minute…so we can move on to arguing about upcoming draft picks!
Congrats, Bucs fans. Looks like a pretty good deal to me.
I guessed around 3 yrs/$105 million back when all this started; was about $2.5 million/yr off, lol.
If your FO fixes the IOL, finds a burner type RB to run with White, a couple good secondary pieces maybe through the draft, I feel pretty good about seeing you guys in the NFCCG in 2024.
Good luck!!!
nice call @Badabing!Could I see 3 years 100 million. Yes but that’s absolute highest at 33.3m APY
his floor is likely the 3 year 75 million and as DH said likely looking at 3 year 90 million as ballpark
I'm happy for Baker as well, finally got that big money that 1st overall normally gets
I saw him in his 3rd game as walk-on in Lubbock, noone could assume that back than. Then I saw him (on TV) beating Mahomes in that crazy college game, and I thought getting any of them would be great. Now we've got him, not too excited but happy for him and we've got decent solution until we find someone better! All fine. Let's help Mike get another 1000+ yds and if division stays as it recently was, let's get into playoffs once again!
I'd give him 3yr/$90M (with an AAV of $30M...which would also be incentive laden).
I'd guarantee $45M-$50M.
It would most likely give us a 2 year look at him where we can extend him after Y2 or ditch him if he reverts back to dogshit with a minimal dead cap hi
DH, you were right on it too.
yep, props!I'd give him 3yr/$90M (with an AAV of $30M...which would also be incentive laden).
