Mayfield extended...
ESPN sources: two-time Pro-Bowl selection Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers reached agreement today on a three-year contract extension that will prevent the quarterback from becoming a free agent after this season, per me and @RapSheet. Mayfield had broken off talks as camp opened, but with the regular season kicking off this week, a deal has been revisited and now struck.
