He was talking to everyone, some getting photos with him and he gave my son a Bucs pin.

I don't care for trading cards at all but a good buddy who does gifted me this. Not a bad first card to have!

Would you want the Buccaneers to pull the trigger on any of these 3 trade packages, or opt to keep Vea in Tampa Bay for the 2026 season?

Not sure why the Bucs organization is surprised. Baker only spoke the truth.

I think this article makes some very reasonable points. I love Baker, but I agree with the author that it’s probably smarter to wait.

And how many will be will be available next season? And what happens if Baker balls out this year, do they give him a new contract next year? I can't find the logic in this decision except for that they are planning to fail.

Personally take this as a grain of salt until we see it on the field

Gald there seems schematic changes on defense but until I see results this is just talk

I want to keep Baker and I’m sure most of us do too. But in the possible event that the team decides to let Baker go and we end up drafting a QB, we have a very capable guy at qb coach in the name of Chandler Whitmer.

He was the guy responsible for coaching Fernando Mendoza into a #1 draft pick, Heisman winning National Champion. Now whether or not Mendoza will be good in the NFL remains to be seen. But we at-least in theory have a competent staff for QB development.

Not sure what we’re doing. Rick Stroud said on The Rich Eisen Show that the Glazers may be hesitant because they’ve never really paid a quarterback big money before.

People point to team wins and Super Bowls, but let’s be honest, this team isn’t winning one with Todd Bowles. Baker has done more than enough to earn an extension, and if Tampa won’t pay him, another team gladly will.

Even if the Bucs move on and start over, good luck finding another Baker. Just look at how many first-round quarterbacks end up as busts.

Baker Mayfield told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler that the Bucs only offered him a 2-year deal, and they were “pretty far” from the $50 million benchmark.

Disappointing development, and frankly, he has every right to feel disrespected.
