Reacting to the possibility of the Buccaneers cutting him, Baker Mayfield said, “That’s clown behavior.”

Baker Mayfield took a prove-it deal from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year, and he is anticipated to be a highly sought-after free agent this summer.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Mike Garafolo, coaches all over the NFL “admire Mayfield’s competitiveness and talent level” as he looks for a new contract.

The source cited the Atlanta Falcons as a team interested in Mayfield. Raheem Morris, the head coach, and newly hired offensive coordinator Zac Robinson lead the squad.

On February 8, Rapoport stated that Tampa has a “leg up” to keep Mayfield and that the “first deadline” in this situation will be the franchise tag window in March.

The decision by Mayfield to return to the Bucs may have been impacted by offensive coordinator Dave Canales’s departure, as he was named head coach of the Carolina Panthers.

Mayfield stated to NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe on February 1st (as reported by NFL.com’s Grant Gordon) that he was monitoring the player the Buccaneers chose to replace Canales.

Ultimately, Tampa Bay decided to name Liam Coen as their new offensive coordinator. During the previous season, he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of Kentucky.

For the 2022 season, Coen served as the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams. Mayfield made five appearances for the Rams at the end of the season.

Because Morris and Robinson worked with Coen, they are familiar with Mayfield. In the previous offseason, the 28-year-old and the Buccaneers reached an agreement on a $4 million, one-year contract.

With 17 starts, Mayfield surpassed the contract’s requirements by accumulating 4,044 yards and 28 touchdowns. He led the Buccaneers to an NFC South title and a 32-9 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round.
