Baker Mayfield is a new man.
The Tampa Bay Bucs quarterback is set to head into the 2024 season looking like we’ve never seen him before.
This week, the veteran quarterback debuted his new look, shaving just about everything from his face, from his beard to his mustache. The results had him looking completely unrecognizable.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield revitalized his career in 2023 and was rewarded handsomely for it.
In March 2024, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed their resurgent starter to a three-year deal worth up to $115 million, with $50 million guaranteed, CBS reported at the time.
Mayfield confirmed his return, saying, “I wanted a chance to come back. I love coach [Todd] Bowles and the staff. I’m happy to be here, and I want to win more in the postseason.”
ESPN further broke down his deal as $30 million in 2024, $30 million in 2025, including $20 million guaranteed, and $40 million in 2026. Baker Mayfield will also receive $5 million per year in incentives.

Things had been a bit rough for Mayfield after the Cleveland Browns decided to get rid of him and replace him with Deshaun Watson.
He would play on three different teams before he finally found his long-term home.
He is coming off a career year with Tampa, with highs in passing yards (4,044) and touchdowns (28), while throwing just ten interceptions in 17 games.
He also led the team to the playoffs and had them winning their Wild-Card matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
