The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off a disappointing season that saw them narrowly miss out on the playoffs due to tiebreakers. The Buccaneers are hoping that quarterback Baker Mayfield will be able to lead them to the promised land this season, but it appears he and the franchise are at a standstill when it comes to his long-term future in Tampa.

“Contract stuff — it’s happening, it’s starting, the talks and what not,” Mayfield told reporters on Friday. “But [we’re] not anywhere close to what we were thinking. So, I’d to be here long-term, but right now that’s not the case. I’m under contract for 2026 and the guys in that locker room and that staff know that I’m still going to do everything I can to win a Super Bowl. To me, that’s the priority. Everything else will take care of itself.

Considering the Steelers still don’t appear to have a concrete plan for the position post-Rodgers, Mayfield may just be the perfect solution.
