ESPN's Ben Solak believes the Tampa Bay Buccaneers already regret quarterback Baker Mayfield's $165 million contract extension.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – It’s been five years. That’s how long Deshaun Watson has been the Browns quarterback, and how long Baker Mayfield has been gone from Cleveland. Sunday, they face each other for the first time when the Browns play in Tampa Bay.

Three lost fumbles made Mayfield’s opener look worse than it was, and the Buccaneers still hung 27 points on the Bengals before this home date with Cleveland. He sits 14th among quarterbacks in PFN’s Week 2 rankings,

Baker Mayfield waited years for the security Tampa Bay finally gave him. He signed a three-year, $165 million extension that runs through 2029. It made him the highest-paid player in Buccaneers history.

TAMPA, Fla — Deshaun Watson, with his back firmly against the wall Sunday, took the Baker Mayfield Revenge Bowl by storm in Tampa, literally. With his starting job on the line, Watson came out swinging in a 23-19 upset of the Bucs with arguably his second-best performance in a Browns uniform.

The Cleveland Browns took down the Baker Mayfield-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, Sept. 20. Mayfield is now 0-2 against his former squad. The Browns moved on from Mayfield in exchange for Deshaun Watson back in 2022.

The contract is huge. So are the questions.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Five hours after kickoff and 12 after reporters speculated on his shaky job security, Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson hugged co-owner Jimmy Haslam’s son-in-law to celebrate. Rain soaked the field at Raymond James Stadium.
