The Facts: The Buccaneers have a pair of quarterbacks on the roster — veteran Mayfield and 2021 second-rounder Kyle Trask. G.M. Jason Licht is very pleased with the former No. 1 overall pick who joined Tampa Bay in free agency. “Baker’s been fantastic here getting adjusted to his teammates and the culture here,” Licht said in an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “Everybody, our staff, everbody downstairs has been really, really impressed with how he’s handled himself so far."

Diehards Line: Mayfield has had a couple of very good seasons. His 2021 campaign was derailed by a shoulder injury. Last year, he ended up in Carolina too late to make much of a difference — and the head coach got fired not long into the season. Mayfield created a stir with a memorable Thursday night game against the Raiders, only two days after becoming a Ram. He’s still got some good football left, and he should be able to win the job in Tampa and turn his career around.
