The stability of a $100 million deal won't change QB Baker Mayfield's mentality to lead the Bucs deeper into the playoffs. Here's why.
TAMPA — A year ago, Baker Mayfield was surrounded by doubt and uncertainty, signing a modest $4 million deal with the Bucs after spending the previous year with three different teams. His future was unknown, and the outside expectations for Tampa Bay were not good, projected by many as one of the worst teams in the NFL. He signed another deal with the Bucs on Wednesday, reflecting just how much his life has changed in that year.
'It's something I've worked extremely hard for many years of football. I'm grateful for it. There's nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to say, 'Well, he got more.' It's not that mentality, knowing we have a chance to bring back some key pieces and make a run in the playoffs, that's important to me. I'm a winner at heart. I hate losing, so knowing we get a lot of guys back and we can continue to build this for years to come, it's special.
