Baker Mayfield Hits Free Agency as Buccaneers, QB Fail to Agree on Extension
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield were unable to come to terms on a contract extension for the QB, sending him to free agency.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield were unable to come to terms on a contract extension for the QB. That means you're looking at a potential QB carousel this offseason if Tampa Bay decides to move on or if Mayfield tests the market. Either way, this is the kind of roster uncertainty that can crater your season-long strategy if you're banking on Buccaneers pass catchers.
On the injury front, the Lions put one of their starting offensive linemen on the non-football injury list on Tuesday. That's Christian Mahogany, and losing a starter up front early in the offseason is never ideal for Detroit's offensive continuity.
Also worth monitoring: the Ravens infamously backed out of their trade for Maxx Crosby due to concerns about a degenerative issue in the edge rusher's knee. That kind of medical red flag can ripple through the league and affect player valuations across the board.
