Licht admitted that there are no immediate plans to alter Mayfield's contract, which expires after the 2026 season. Mayfield signed a three-year, $100 million contract extension to remain with the Bucs in the 2024 offseason after thriving with the team during the 2023 season.

“I love Baker. I love everything he’s done for us ,” Licht said in an interview with Jeff Howe of TheAthletic.com. “The goal for us is for Baker to continue to be the player that he is, and at some point, we reach an extension when the time is right and he continues to be our quarterback for a long time. That’s the goal.”

Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht wants to tie down Baker Mayfield with a new contract. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has enjoyed a superb career resurgence since arriving in the NFC South, and as we look toward the 2025 season, expectations are huge.
