Quarterback Baker Mayfield, coming off a career year and currently representing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Pro Bowl Games in Orlando, has indicated that his future with the team is contingent upon clarity regarding who will be the offensive coordinator. Amidst rumors that Mayfield could command a salary of 'at least' $40 million per season, his statements suggest that contract talks with the Buccaneers have begun but hinge on the unresolved issue of play-calling leadership. Mayfield's previous successful collaboration with Liam Coen during his time with the Rams may be a factor in his decision-making process.
