Cardinals Get Strong Baker Mayfield Message After Buccaneers Fallout
A new prediction linked the Cardinals to Baker Mayfield following his public frustration with the Buccaneers. The post Cardinals Get Strong Baker Mayfield Message After Buccaneers Fallout appeared first on HEAVY.
The Arizona Cardinals have emerged as a leading contender for Baker Mayfield's services if he opts for free agency following his fallout with the Buccaneers, according to recent reports. CBS Sports has named Arizona as the most realistic landing spot for the quarterback next March. The Cardinals currently lack a long-term plan for their quarterback position and could benefit greatly from Mayfield's experience and leadership alongside young talent such as rookie running back Jeremiyah Love, tight end Trey McBride and receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. Following the passing of the training camp deadline without a new contract being reached, Mayfield expressed disappointment over the situation and felt undervalued by the Buccaneers.
He firmly believes he is a franchise quarterback, and to not secure a deal would be deeply disappointing. If Mayfield joins the Cardinals next year, he would automatically be named the starter. This move could significantly alter the team's plans for their quarterback situation, potentially shifting their focus from the 2027 NFL Draft to securing Mayfield for the upcoming season.
