The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield have yet to finalize a contract extension, but ESPN insider Adam Schefter believes it's only a matter of time before an agreement is reached.Appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, Schefter said he expects the two sides to work out a new contract despite negotiations extending into training camp."The Buccaneers have been a team that typically has gotten deals done once camp is underway," Schefter said.Schefter added that he doesn't believe Tampa Bay and Mayfield will ultimately go their separate ways."I think they figure out a way to get a deal done with Baker Mayfield," Schefter said.As for what that contract could look like, Schefter projected a significant raise for the veteran quarterback."My projection would be it's around $50M a year," Schefter said.Mayfield enters the 2026 season in the final year of his current contract after helping lead the Buccaneers to multiple playoff appearances since arriving in Tampa Bay. While the two sides have discussed an extension throughout the offseason, recent reports have indicated that negotiations are progressing slowly, with the organization not feeling pressured to complete a deal before the season begins.If Schefter's projection proves accurate, Mayfield would join the growing middle tier of starting quarterbacks earning around $50 million annually. Such a contract would reflect both his importance to the Buccaneers and the continued rise of the quarterback market across the NFL.For now, all signs continue to point toward Mayfield opening the season as Tampa Bay's starting quarterback while negotiations remain ongoing. If history is any indication, the Buccaneers may once again wait until training camp is underway before finalizing another major extension.This article originally appeared on Bucs Wire: ESPN insider makes prediction regarding Baker Mayfield contract
