Baker Mayfield has at least one year to prove his worth in Tampa.
It's a new era for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2023, as former quarterback Tom Brady has retired again, and for real this time. To replace him, they have turned to Baker Mayfield on a one-year prove-it deal.

With the Buccaneers, Mayfield inherits a rebuilding offense that has lost top rusher Leonard Fournette but still boasts Pro Bowl receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. He will be complemented by Super Bowl-winners and Pro Bowlers Tristan Wirfs and Ryan Jensen and FCS-winning rookie Cody Mauch.
On the defensive side, linebackers Lavonte David and Devin White will continue to lead a pass-rushing unit supported by Vita Vea, while Carlton Davis and Antione Winfield will command the secondary. Overall, the Buccaneers still look like a Wild Card favorite, but winning the division could prove a challenge, given Mayfield's recent struggles.

About the author
Andre Castillo
Andre Castillo is an NFL journalist at Sportskeeda who holds a Bachelor’s degree in English and Master’s degree in Journalism. He has over seven years of working experience and has also covered MMA with FanSided, wrestling with The Sportster, and automobiles with Hot Cars.
Andre follows the New York Jets and the Washington Commanders, mostly because he likes their colors. His favorite position is tight end, and players like Mark Andrews and Travis Kelce have always drawn Andre's attention when watching a game. Bill Belichick is his favorite coach, and his all-time favorite Super Bowl is the XLII edition, when the underdog New York Giants upset the then-undefeated New England Patriots.
If he can change one moment in NFL history, it will be from the NFC Championship Game in January 2019. In that game, a highly controversial no-call cost the Saints what would have been Drew Brees' second Super Bowl visit, where he would have faced Tom Brady and the Patriots.
Andre is always on the lookout for fresh perspectives in a story and ensures complete factual accuracy by double-checking all information before using it in his articles. He has an innate understanding of how to present information in an efficient and compelling way.
