Suddenly : a fantastic contract has been signed by the Buccaneers’ best player Of the team…
This week at the NFL Scouting Combine is no exception to the wonderful week news about clubs and players emerge in advance of free agency. Whether or not the Buccaneers would be able to keep quarterback Baker Mayfield is one of the main topics going in.
They haven’t been able to do it up to this point.
Mayfield has reportedly received a contract offer from Tampa Bay, according to Dianne Russini of The Athletic. Nevertheless, Russini has heard that Atlanta is also interested in the veteran quarterback should he decide not to rejoin the Bucs, so it doesn’t seem like a deal just yet.
Atlanta’s consolation prize? Mayfield, what say you? If the Falcons lose out on Cousins or if Tampa Bay is unable to reach an agreement with Mayfield, I anticipate them making an attempt to sign him. Mayfield has accepted a new contract offer from the Bucs, but the talks are still in the early stages. We’ll see if the man who took a risk, won the Super Bowl, and led a club to the postseason can sign a contract that would bring in between $30 and $35 million year.
Yes, we are aware of the current discussion about how both parties want to resolve the situation so that Mayfield may return. However, that hasn’t occurred yet, and with the increasing interest other clubs are showing in him right now, Baker’s return to Pewter is not as certain as many had previously thought.
