Baker Mayfield makes $1M incentive if Buccaneers win NFC South

Baker Mayfield has $1 million riding on whether the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can win the NFC South.

Mayfield's contract contains $4.5 million worth of incentives, including a $1 million bonus for winning the NFC South, which the first-place Buccaneers are in position to do entering Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Mayfield already has qualified for $1 million worth of playing time incentives and can make up to $1.5 million in performance incentives before having a chance to earn another $1 million if Tampa Bay advances to the postseason.

It has been a good contract so far -- with potentially more to come -- for both the organization and Mayfield, who has made quite the mark on the Buccaneers in only one season, according to people around the team.
