Who signs first: Baker Mayfield or Vita Vea? And what does the smartest path forward look like for the Buccaneers?

from DAE On Demand

Contract season has arrived in Tampa Bay, and two of the Buccaneers' biggest stars are looking for new deals. Quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off another successful season as the face of the franchise, while defensive tackle Vita Vea remains one of the most dominant interior defenders in the NFL. The question is: Who gets paid first? On this episode of The Drive with TKras, Tom Krasniqi breaks down the contract situations surrounding two cornerstone players and examines what makes the most sense for the Buccaneers' front office. Should Tampa Bay prioritize locking up its franchise quarterback before the market gets even more expensive? Or is retaining the heart of the defense the bigger priority as Vea continues to anchor one of the league's toughest defensive fronts?
