Baker Mayfield did not play well. Now they don't have Mike Evans. Now they didn't win with Mike Evans, so maybe, you know, clearing things up for Chris Godwin and Emeka Buke to get this offense going... It's a contract year for Baker Mayfield, which you think is make or break.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Mayfield's contract year is make-or-break after poor 2024; extension likely before season starts.

Baker Mayfield did not play well in 2024 and faces a make-or-break contract year in 2025 with the Buccaneers. The team lost Mike Evans and is banking on Chris Godwin and Emeka Buke to carry the offense, but there has been significant change. Mayfield's performance is critical to Tampa Bay's divisional prospects, though a contract extension may be worked out before or early in training camp.
