getting an extension done could end up looking good for the team if he is able to play like a top ten quarterback and lead the team back to the playoffs. The salary cap in the NFL is only going to keep rising and with that eventually a contract that may be a lot right now will look a lot better in 2-3 years.

Extension could be a bargain if Mayfield plays like a top-ten QB and leads playoff run.

If Mayfield performs at a top-ten quarterback level and leads Tampa Bay back to the playoffs, an extension signed now could look like a bargain for the Buccaneers in 2-3 years as the NFL salary cap continues to rise. Short-term financial pain could yield long-term value if he outperforms his new contract, though this scenario depends entirely on sustained high-level performance.
