Sources: Buccaneers bringing in QB Mayfield
Former No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers have reached agreement on a one-year contract worth up to $8.5 million, sources told ESPN.
Former No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reached agreement on a one-year contract worth up to $8.5 million, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.
Mayfield's deal starts at $4 million, a source told ESPN's Jenna Laine.
The Buccaneers needed a veteran quarterback with the ability to start to compete with 2021 second-round draft pick Kyle Trask.
General manager Jason Licht said at the NFL combine that the Buccaneers "have a lot of faith in Kyle." But going from third string to a starter and following in the footsteps of seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady would be a tall ask for any player, let alone one who saw his first NFL regular-season snaps ever in Week 18.

Nah cuz he'd still be living the high life. He needed that kick in the ass to pull himself up and be serious again.

The full video of Mayfield going undercover within the Tampa organization. I did not watch the whole thing. However, Eli reading the teleprompter script of not to read something during the middle made me laugh.

Skull Session: Ryan Day Knows Adam Sandler “Secondhand,” Baker Mayfield Takes Emeka Egbuka’s Family to Brunch and Ohio State Honors Its Spring Graduates in the Horseshoe
Ryan Day knows Adam Sandler "secondhand," Baker Mayfield treats Emeka Egbuka and his family to brunch and Ohio State honors its spring graduates.
BAKER LOVES BRUNCH. When Emeka Egbuka arrived in Tampa, Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife, Emily, welcomed him and his family to the Sunshine State with a brunch.
“He immediately asked me for Emeka’s number and he said, ‘When is he getting in?” Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht told Adam Schein last week. “He came in – we flew in Emeka and his family on Friday. And on Saturday morning, Baker and his wife picked them all up and took them out to brunch just to show ‘em around and get to know them. He didn’t have to do that. And he probably doesn’t want me even telling anybody that. He does that under the radar without wanting any fanfare for it.”
I'm sorry, Baker, but I’m adding to the fanfare because this kind gesture deserves praise.
The Mayfields and the Egbukas ate brunch at the Tampa Club. The party included Egbuka’s father Henry, his mother Rhonda Ogilvie and stepfather Eric Ogilvie, along with Buccaneers vice president of player engagement Duke Preston, right tackle Luke Goedeke, right guard Cody Mauch, left guard Ben Bredeson and center Graham Barton.
When asked about Mayfield at his introductory press conference, Egbuka shared his excitement to catch passes from a former Heisman winner.
“There are not too many people who have that achievement, and he’s done great things as well in the league. He’s had successful receivers all the way around him, so I’m just excited to be able to learn and grow with him at the helm of everything I’m doing (with) a seasoned vet like he is,” Egbuka said. “We were able to talk briefly. He texted me here shortly after I got drafted so it’s just good to know that he’s excited with the pick as well and I just can’t wait to get to work.”
