John Wolford started his career in the NFL by attending training camp with the New York Jets in 2018.
He played college football at Wake Forest and spent the previous four years with the Los Angeles Rams before joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in March as a free agent.
In March, the Bucs revealed that Baker Mayfield and John Wolford would share the same quarterback room again after they were both with the Rams for the second part of last season.
According to reports, Wolford will make $1.01 million from this contract, not including a signing bonus. For players who have been in the NFL for at least three years, this contract is the bare minimum.
