Buccaneers Focus on Football, Not Contracts | Tampa Bay Buccaneers News

Tampa Bay Buccaneers GM Jason Licht is keeping the focus squarely on the season opener against Cincinnati, shutting down contract talks for now — even as he admits he’s a fan of Baker Mayfield and wants him to stick around. Licht respects Mayfield’s desire to stay present and play football, not dwell on future deals, though he joked Mayfield’s too open about negotiations. The main hurdle? Mayfield’s injury history and the team’s cautious approach to long-term commitments. If Mayfield stays healthy and delivers this season, a new deal could follow — but for now, it’s all about football, and the games are starting without a contract in place.
