Mayfield’s Make-or-Break Season | Tampa Bay Buccaneers News

Baker Mayfield’s future hangs in the balance as he enters the season without a new contract, aiming to prove his worth and boost his value for next year—potentially making Tampa Bay regret not locking him down sooner. Despite being snubbed from ESPN’s top 100 list, insiders believe he’s a top-ten QB when healthy, and last year’s struggles may have been due to injury. With the Bucs missing the playoffs for the first time since he arrived and losing key target Mike Evans, Mayfield’s bounce-back campaign is critical—not just for his legacy, but for his financial future. The hope? A breakout season with rising rookie Emeka Egbuka stepping up to fill the void. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
