Mayfield's Historic Pass & Contract Crossroads | Tampa Bay Buccaneers News

Baker Mayfield is on the cusp of rewriting Tampa Bay Buccaneers history, poised to leap into second place in franchise passing yards and potentially challenge for the all-time lead—just 732 yards away. With a career average of over 3,100 yards per season, he’s on track to eclipse legends like Tom Brady and Vinny Testaverde. Despite contract negotiations stalled far from agreement, his 2024 breakout—4,500+ yards and 45 TDs—combined with a new offensive system tailored to his strengths, makes him a rare asset. Tampa Bay faces a pivotal choice: reward a QB delivering elite play or risk losing him, especially as they’ve never paid big for a franchise QB like Mayfield.
