Once deemed expendable by the Cleveland Browns, Carolina Panthers, and Los Angeles Rams, quarterback Baker Mayfield has resurrected his professional trajectory over the last three campaigns with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, as he enters the concluding season of the contract he inked in 2023, with extension talks at an impasse, the two-time Pro Bowl selection has declared his intention to test free agency following the 2026 season.
After delivering consecutive 4,000-yard passing seasons and setting a personal best with 41 touchdown passes in 2024, Mayfield experienced a regression in 2025, battling injuries while the Buccaneers missed the postseason for the first time since 2019. The franchise currently faces turbulence, highlighted by stalwart defensive tackle Vita Vea's trade request and the departure of legendary wideout Mike Evans to the San Francisco 49ers during the offseason.
