The Facts: The Buccaneers' offseason quarterback battle is officially over. HC Todd Bowles announced Mayfield would start the Week 1 opener at the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 10.

Diehards Line: The result of the offseason battle with Kyle Trask is no surprise. Mayfield always had a leg up after inking a one-year, $4 million contract with an additional $4.5 million in incentives. "There's a lot that goes into it," Bowles explained to reporters on Tuesday. "I can't sit up here and give you every detail. We go through minicamp, training camp and OTAs and we love everything Kyle has done. He's gotten leaps and bounds better than he has in the spring and he's continuing to get better, and we're excited about him. Baker is our guy, right now, experience-wise and understanding the playbook just a little bit better. Kyle's on the come, but we like both guys, we like where we're at. Baker's one, Kyle's two." The Bucs inked Mayfield this offseason with designs on the 28-year-old taking over Tom Brady's gig. When protected, Mayfield can still make NFL throws, owning a plus deep ball that should work well with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin at his disposal.
