It is not a given that Mayfield will play for the Buccaneers next season, even though most anticipate them to make him a sizable offer. Mayfield is set to become a free agency.

Mayfield also discussed how the Buccaneers could benefit from new offensive coordinator Liam Coen, with whom he played five games last season.

The Cleveland Browns selected Baker Mayfield with the first overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and enormous expectations were placed on him, particularly among the city’s jaded sports fans who were about to see LeBron James’ second trade from the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers.

Though he only played well in spurts and the Browns only made the playoffs once in his four years with them, some believed the quarterback could be the team’s James.

Prior to the 2018 season, he was traded to the Carolina Panthers. Following seven unsatisfactory games with the Panthers, he was cut loose and signed with the Los Angeles Rams, where he was coached by Coen..

Mayfield, who is 28 years old, may be just beginning a long period of individual and possibly team success.
