Even in that scenario Baker Mayfield loses no value on the open market— Zero. None. He will hop, skip, and jump into free agency and be greeted with teams unloading their bank accounts to get his signature on the dotted line.

Mayfield's free agency value immune to 2026 performance; market demand remains strong.

Baker Mayfield's free agency value is insulated from 2026 performance outcomes.

The source argues that Mayfield has already earned his contract through prior performance, and his price will only increase regardless of 2026 results.
