Todd Bowles Responds to Baker Mayfield's Contract Comments
On Thursday, Baker Mayfield, the quarterback for the Buccaneers, expressed his dissatisfaction regarding the team's contract offer, which he found inadequate. The following day, coach Todd Bowles was asked about his thoughts on Mayfield's comments.
Bowles stated that he did not have a reaction to Mayfield's remarks, indicating that the team is focused on their current objectives. He noted that while Mayfield had expressed his views, the team has moved on to concentrate on their performance.
From Bowles's viewpoint, the quarterback's contract situation beyond 2026 is not a concern. He highlighted the transient nature of the NFL, especially with numerous head-coaching positions likely to open after the 2025 season. Mayfield's contract status may motivate him to excel in 2026, which could positively influence Bowles's chances of remaining with the team in 2027.
