The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and impending free-agent QB Baker Mayfield have agreed to terms on a three-year deal worth up to $115 million that includes $50 million guaranteed, per sources on Sunday, March 10.
Huddle Up: After reviving his career with the Buccaneers in 2024, Mayfield will remain in Tampa Bay, which was always the most likely scenario. The former No. 1 overall pick will enter next season as a solid QB2.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans said he is extremely confident that impending free-agent QB Baker Mayfield will re-sign with the Buccaneers this offseason.
Huddle Up: The Buccaneers still have a few days to talk with Mayfield before other teams can start checking in with him, so fantasy players should monitor the situation. He played well this past season but probably will only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in 2024.

Huddle Up: Mayfield will receive interest from multiple teams if he hits the market and will likely will for play for playoff contender. The Patriots likely will look for a quarterback in both free agency and the 2024 NFL Draft, but their starter probably will only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback. Mayfield probably will also be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback wherever he signs.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent WR Mike Evans agreed to a two-year, $52 million contract Monday, March 4. The deal includes $35 million guaranteed.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent QB Baker Mayfield is expected to be a target of the Atlanta Falcons in free agency if the team can't acquire Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields in a trade, per sources on Saturday, March 2.
Huddle Up: Mayfield revived his career with the Buccaneers in 2023 and should garner interest from QB-needy teams if he doesn't return to Tampa Bay. He makes a ton of sense for Atlanta, a team that has a major question mark under center ahead of next season. Mayfield should be viewed as a QB2 entering 2024.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans is due to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year next month, but general manager Jason Licht made it clear on Tuesday, Feb. 27, that the team is "going to do whatever we can to make sure he's a Buc."
Huddle Up: With the league recently announcing the salary cap will take a $30 million hike in 2024, it certainly should increase Tampa Bay's chances of retaining the only receiver ever to begin his career with 10 straight 1,000-yard seasons. However, the change at offensive coordinator from Dave Canales to Liam Coen may result in a slight hit to his fantasy stock next season - assuming he is re-signed.

Huddle Up: Evans was the WR7 in PPR leagues at age 30. He'll be a good WR2 target with some regression expected in 2024.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent QB Baker Mayfield is expected to be a candidate for the franchise tag this offseason.
Huddle Up: The Buccaneers have multiple options for the tag, but Mayfield may be the biggest candidate for the tag if the two sides are not able to reach a long-term agreement. He is coming off a very good season but probably will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in 2024.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin is expected to play much more often in the slot in 2024, according to comments made by new offensive coordinator Liam Coen.
Huddle Up: While a return to the slot on more of a full-time basis does not mean Godwin should be expected to return to push for 100 catches again, it also does not rule it out. Coen is a product of the Sean McVay coaching tree and has seen his share of primary slot receivers have career years in that offense (Wan'Dale Robinson at Kentucky and Cooper Kupp, to name a couple). A more slot-heavy role should allow Godwin to be much more consistently productive in 2024, so he should be viewed as a high-upside WR3 at worst for now.
Posted 2/03/2024 3:50 am GMT
Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent WR Mike Evans is expected to land a contract that pays between $25 to $30 million a year, according to reports.
Huddle Up: Evans has been the model of consistency throughout his career, topping 1,000 yards in each of his 10 seasons. He has 94 touchdowns in that span, scoring 13 or more times in three of the last four years. Wherever he plays in 2024, Evans should be the No. 1 option and a WR1 candidate for fantasy owners.
