Baker Mayfield has secured a significant three-year, $165 million contract extension with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ending months of speculation before the season opener. The deal provides financial security for the quarterback and avoids a substantial "dead money" hit for the team. Buccaneers owner Joel Glazer expressed his satisfaction with the agreement, highlighting the organization's high regard for Mayfield.

In a concerning incident, Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft pick Max Iheanachor reportedly had up to $200,000 worth of property stolen during a home invasion. This event marks another instance of NFL players becoming targets of burglaries, raising security concerns within the league. Meanwhile, Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby received a pre-game jab from a Dolphins player ahead of the team's season opener.
