Buccaneers Urged to Proceed with Caution on Baker Mayfield Extension
NFL analyst Alex Kennedy advises the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to delay extension talks with quarterback Baker Mayfield, citing his recent performance decline and injury history. He suggests waiting to see how Mayfield performs in the 2025 season, especially without Mike Evans, and keeping options open for the potentially strong 2027 NFL Draft quarterback class. The Buccaneers should avoid repeating past mistakes of prematurely extending players.
