Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles praised quarterback Baker Mayfield, saying that Mayfield has definitely earned a new contract. Mayfield expressed his desire to continue with the team’s offense, stating, “I love this group. I’ve said that all year and it’s authentic. It would mean a lot to me, to bring back a lot of key pieces, to get this back together, to get into Year Two in the system. I feel like we could make huge strides. I would love that. Obviously, we’ll see how it’s going to play out but I can’t say enough about this organization and the opportunity they gave me this year.”
