Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has filed a federal lawsuit against his father’s company, Camwood Capital Management Group, accusing his father, James Mayfield, of stealing millions of dollars from him and his wife, Emily. The couple is seeking nearly $12 million in damages.
The lawsuit claims that between 2018 and 2021, Camwood Capital unlawfully transferred over $12.2 million from the Mayfields. Although a settlement was reached requiring James Mayfield’s business to pay $11.7 million, none of the agreed-upon payments have been made.
In addition to Camwood Capital, multiple other companies with shared ownership, including Texas Contracting Manufacturing Group, Unitech Tool & Machine, Apex Machining, and Lor-Van Manufacturing, are also named as defendants. The Mayfields accuse these companies of breaching contract following the settlement.
The lawsuit further alleges that when the Mayfields attempted to investigate the missing funds, the companies avoided their inquiries and provided false explanations. A $250,000 payment that was due on September 30 has not been made, and none of the companies have responded to the Mayfields’ attempts to reach them regarding the overdue payment.
Mayfield, 29, is currently in the second year of a three-year, $100 million contract with the Buccaneers.
