Bucs offered Baker Mayfield a two-year deal - NBC Sports

Baker Mayfield revealed that the Buccaneers offered him a two-year contract during negotiations.

Mayfield stated he was seeking roughly $50 million per year, describing Tampa Bay's offer as "pretty far" from that target.

According to his comments, the Bucs' proposal was close in value to the deal Daniel Jones received in Indianapolis.

Despite coming off a down season, Mayfield's track record in Tampa Bay is stronger than Jones' performance with the Colts, making his decision to turn down the offer unsurprising.

Mayfield now enters a contract year, positioning him to potentially command a lucrative free agency payday if he delivers a bounce-back season.
