Baker MayfieldQBTB
The risk of extending Mayfield is that if he performs like he did in the second half of 2025, the Buccaneers would be stuck with one of the worst contracts in the NFL with no realistic way to get rid of it. The comparison is drawn to Kyler Murray and Tua Tagovailoa, both signed to massive extensions but never reached the next level; a bad QB contract at the quarterback position can sink a team.
