Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield has been "all business" amid contract extension talks, according to head coach Todd Bowles, and Bowles said there is "absolutely no question" that he wants Mayfield to stay with the Buccaneers long term.
Huddle Up: Mayfield battled through some injuries last year, but he still managed to toss 26 touchdowns, and he has 95 touchdown passes in his three seasons in Tampa Bay. While his future with the Buccaneers is still up in the air, Mayfield should remain a high-end QB2 with streaming potential in 2026.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield is not likely to stage a holdout from mandatory minicamp, which begins on June 16, even though the two sides are not believed to be close to finalizing a contract extension. According to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler, discussions are in the early stages but Mayfield will not negotiate a long-term deal once training camp has started.
Huddle Up: The 31-year-old Mayfield played in all 17 regular-season games, throwing for 3,693 passing yards with 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He can be viewed as a low-end QB1 option in most fantasy leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield said he and the team aren't close in contract negotiations, and talks will end once the season begins.
Huddle Up: Mayfield was pummeled and lost so many skill-position weapons last season, but he still wound up the QB12 in fantasy and played in 17 games. Now 31, he remains a low-end QB1 with some contract-year upside.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jalon Daniels, an undrafted free agent, has turned head in the team's offseason program. Veteran QB Jake Browning is the favorite for the primary backup job behind QB Baker Mayfield, while QB Connor Bazelak is also in the mix. Daniels has stood out with his strong arm and 4.65-second 40-yard dash time.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield fumbled 11 times during the 2025 regular season, which was tied for the most in the NFL.
Huddle Up: Mayfield saw a drop in his production compared to last season but was without at least one of his receivers for most of the season. There is a good chance that he will be able to have more success next season but will likely be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 16 of his 22 passes for 203 yards, a touchdown and an interception in a 16-14 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 18. He also rushed four times for 31 yards.
Huddle Up: The Buccaneers kept their postseason hopes alive with the win, but it was Mayfield's least productive regular season in terms of counting stats since joining Tampa Bay. Granted, the Buccaneers dealt with a lot of injuries on the offensive side of the ball, but Mayfield looks more like a QB2 heading into 2026.
