From the episode

Baker Mayfield signed a three year, $100 million contract back in 2024 among the 16 veteran quarterbacks who are on franchise type contracts. Baker's the lowest paid. So how far should he jump at a time? The top of the market is basically double what he's making right now. The sides are not on the same page on that.

Mayfield's extension talks stalled; lowest-paid vet QB seeking market reset.

Baker Mayfield signed a three-year, $100 million contract in 2024 and is the lowest paid among 16 veteran quarterbacks on franchise-type contracts; the top of the market is basically double what he's making. The sides are not on the same page regarding extension value. Mayfield set a deadline of training camp start; if no deal is reached, he faces a franchise tag or free agency in March.
