梅菲尔德与海盗队达成3年1.65亿美元合同延期

四分卫贝克·梅菲尔德与坦帕湾海盗队达成了一份3年1.65亿美元的合同延期协议1。这份新协议取代了梅菲尔德原先的3年1亿美元合同，他原本将在即将到来的赛季进入该合同的最后一年1。

梅菲尔德曾设定在训练营开始前获得新合同的期限，并表示感到"不受尊重"1。自2023赛季加盟坦帕湾替代汤姆·布雷迪后，梅菲尔德迅速重振职业生涯，在过去两个赛季均入选职业碗，并率队连获NFC南区冠军1。上赛季球队开局6胜2负，但梅菲尔德因伤势困扰导致后期表现下滑1。

Quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reached agreement on a three-year contract extension worth $165 million, according to an AP source 1. The deal comes as Mayfield enters the final year of his original three-year, $100 million contract with the franchise 1.

Mayfield had set a deadline before the start of training camp to secure a new agreement, expressing that he felt disrespected by the lack of progress 1. Since joining Tampa Bay in 2023 as Tom Brady's replacement, Mayfield has revitalized his career and led the Buccaneers to consecutive NFC South division titles over the past two seasons 1. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in both of those years 1. Last season, the team started 6-2, though Mayfield's performance declined in the latter stages due to injuries 1.
