TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers found a way to retain quarterback Baker Mayfield -- on a three-year deal worth $100 million -- Sunday, and the move keeps Mayfield from entering free agency.

The league's negotiation window opens Monday at noon ET, and free agency will officially begin Wednesday (4 p.m. ET), so getting a deal done for their starting quarterback was essential.

"I'm very happy for Baker. He's been through so much in the last couple of years," Mayfield's agent Tom Mills said to ESPN.
