Insider Reveals Baker Mayfield’s Stance: Buccaneers GM Jason Licht Faces ‘Disrespect’ Factor in Looming Contract Negotiations
ESPN NFL insider Jeff Darlington has shed light on the intense contract negotiations between Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and GM Jason Licht. Mayfield, who has reportedly “felt the disrespect” over past contracts, is pushing for a significant pay raise, potentially upwards of $50 million annually, before training camp begins. This places Licht in a challenging position, as the Buccaneers look to secure their starting quarterback for the long term after years of bargain deals at the position.
