After his retirement, it appeared like there was going to be a QB competitors between Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask, an unproven younger participant the group invested a second-round choose into.
Nevertheless, because it bought nearer to the 2023 season, it turned clear that Mayfield would grow to be the starter, a place he held onto, by no means trying again.
Mayfield has developed a powerful rapport with lots of his teammates already, a testomony to the tradition the Buccaneers are actually constructing.
This rapport was on full show in a latest interview with Sara Walsh of the NFL Community, as Mayfield spilled the beans a few minor automotive accident he just lately had.

Mayfield was joking in regards to the parking zone incident, which, by many accounts, is an effective signal.
Had he not had an amazing relationship with Winfield, this may need been a unique story.
Mayfield was a extremely touted prospect heading into his time with the Cleveland Browns however wasn’t capable of finding his footing there.
He had a small stint with the Carolina Panthers, however once more, didn’t appear to be in the proper spot.
Hopefully, he can maintain this momentum going with the Buccaneers, rising the group right into a playoff contender as soon as once more.
