Baker Mayfield’s wife expressed her delight in a heartwarming manner following the quarterback’s free agency decision, which was announced on Sunday.
Mayfield has opted to stay with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, committing to a lucrative three-year contract worth $100 million with the NFC team. This decision comes after Mayfield’s impressive performance last season, leading the Buccaneers to the Divisional Round of the playoffs and earning his first Pro Bowl honors.
In a notable turn of events, Mayfield’s reinvigorated form ensured he wouldn’t merely serve as a transitional figure between Tom Brady and a top draft pick at the quarterback position.
The Buccaneers officially announced the agreement, highlighting the potential for Mayfield to remain with the team through the 2026 season. This new contract follows Mayfield’s one-year stint with the Buccaneers in 2023, during which he played on a short-term deal after previously playing for the Carolina Panthers and the Los Angeles Rams in 2022.
Baker’s wife, Emily, expressed her elation on her Instagram Story, sharing multiple heart emojis in response to the news.

In an interview with ESPN, Mayfield expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity to return to Tampa Bay, citing his admiration for coach Bowles and the coaching staff, along with his desire to achieve further postseason success.
With Mayfield’s contract secured, the Buccaneers have successfully locked in deals for both of their key players, including a two-year extension with veteran wide receiver Mike Evans, signaling their commitment to building a competitive roster for the upcoming seasons.
