This offseason, free agent quarterback Baker Mayfield will have the opportunity to switch teams for the fourth time in three years, but it’s possible he may have found a home with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The former No. 1 overall pick put up career numbers across the board in 2023, completing 64.3% of his passes for 4,044 yards, 28 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while going 9-8 as the starter and winning the NFC South. Could his 2023 campaign lead to a lucrative contract from the Buccaneers or another team?
Mayfield is the only quarterback in NFL history to have eight different head coaches in a six-season span. He’s also just the fourth quarterback all time to win playoff games for two different teams in his first six seasons. It has been reported that Mayfield and the Buccaneers have mutual interest in the QB returning next season. Mayfield found success with veteran wide receiver Mike Evans, who tied for the league lead with 13 touchdown receptions. However, Evans got re-signed ahead of free agency, which is an interesting factor that could affect what happens with Mayfield.
Below, we will break down Mayfield’s projected contract and the top five landing spots for the veteran signal-caller.
