Baker Mayfield Disrespected by Buccaneers Over Contract Talks
Tampa, Fla. — Baker Mayfield feels disrespected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after failing to reach a new contract agreement. The two-time Pro Bowl quarterback plans to focus on his performance in 2024 while the situation remains unresolved.
Mayfield, who was acquired via trade from Cleveland in 2023, has made significant contributions to the Buccaneers' success, leading them to consecutive NFC South titles and multiple Pro Bowls. The 28-year-old set a deadline for a deal by the start of training camp but didn't receive one.
Though Mayfield feels undervalued given his performance, he emphasizes that money shouldn’t motivate him in football.
