Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield filed a lawsuit against his own father for $12 million stemming from an apparent contract dispute with his father’s company.

Mayfield accused his father’s company, Canwood Capital, of transferring Mayfield and his wife’s money from 2018 to 2021 “without authorization.”

According to the lawsuit, the two parties agreed in January that Mayfield’s father, James, would repay almost the entire amount, but Mayfield said he received none of it.

The first payment of $250,000 was due Sept. 30, but Mayfield never received it, the lawsuit says.

“As Plaintiffs began to expose Defendants’ misconduct and search for answers to explain the expropriation of their assets, Defendants attempted to obscure relevant information, evaded Plaintiffs’ investigations, and invented fictitious explanations for their actions …” the lawsuit says.

“It is now clear that the defendants had no intention of compensating the plaintiffs when they entered into the settlement agreement. To date, Canwood Capital has not repaid even a dollar under the settlement agreement, defendants have failed to refinance their existing loan, and defendants have failed to do so.” Plaintiffs have not been provided access to their books and records… With others “In other words, Defendants have failed to comply with any of their obligations and have refused to even respond to Plaintiffs’ inquiries about these violations.”
