The 28-year-old quarterback, who was due to become a free agent in three days, agreed on a deal worth a reported $100 million, half of it guaranteed, with another $15 million in possible incentives.

The Pro Bowl passer played for Tampa Bay on a one-year deal, the Bucs being his fourth team in three seasons after 2022 stops with Carolina and the Los Angeles Rams and a four-season run in Cleveland that ended in 2021.

Mayfield completed a career-best 64.3% of his passes last season for career highs of 4,044 yards and 28 touchdowns.

Behind his guidance, the Bucs went 9-8 to win the NFC South division and beat Philadelphia in the first round of the NFL playoffs before falling to Detroit in the second round.

The Bucs will have Mayfield, the first overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, through the 2026 season and have also re-signed wide receiver Mike Evans to a two-year contract extension.

Mayfield has completed 1,750 of 2,825 career pass attempts (61.9%) for 20,332 yards, 130 touchdowns and 74 interceptions.
