Baker Mayfield to Play Out Contract with Buccaneers Before Free Agency

Veteran quarterback Baker Mayfield arrived at Buccaneers training camp without a fresh contract, confirming he will play out the last year of his current deal. Last season he posted a 3.

2 passer rating and threw for 2,800 yards, providing a steady presence under center. The organization is closely monitoring his performance as he approaches free agency, which could reshape the team's long‑term quarterback strategy.

Mayfield's status adds uncertainty to the Bucs' roster planning for the upcoming season.
