2026 Bucs training camp preview: Quarterback

No NFL team wants to begin its season with uncertainty at the quarterback position. The Buccaneers face that very dilemma heading into training camp, as Baker Mayfield is set to play on the last year of his contract. Tampa Bay's training camp outlook could look very different depending on whether or not Mayfield gets his desired extension.

Despite the apparent lack of progress to get a deal done, there is clear interest from both sides to keep Mayfield in Tampa. The Bucs are too talented in too volatile a division to have a shot at a top quarterback in next year's draft. Mayfield is simply their best option in the near-term.
