He’s only the number 2 guy if the Bucs are carrying 2 QB’s. I doubt you offer a guy who settles for back-up money a guranteed starter role. The Buc’s Front Office is killing it today way to go guys! Who freakin cares what went down or how Trask handles it! Joe wonders how Trask will react to that.ġ53 Responses to “Was Baker Mayfield Promised The Starting Job?” Joe expects Mayfield to operate from Day 1 in April like it’s his team, much like he did when he got to Carolina and the Rams last season. What most fascinates Joe is that Mayfield is a giant personality with an alpha dog mentality. But Joe is assuming Mayfield and his agent were advised that if he just plays like himself, than it’s his starting job. Perhaps … maybe … Mayfield was told he would break “a tie” in any competition with Trask. Joe will take a wild guess and say Mayfield was promised the Bucs’ starting job - no matter what comes out of One Buc Palace. So why play for the Bucs on a cheap one-year deal? And Mayfield very likely had other options in free agency this season. Joe isn’t confusing Mayfield with a Pro Bowler, but Joe can’t say Derek Carr of the Saints is significantly better. Mike Glennon got $15 million from the Bears in 2017.Īnd in comes Mayfield to Tampa, a young talent with a live arm and a playoff win on his résumé that includes a resurrecting a Browns team that was historic garbage before he arrived in 2018. That cash total is basically what the bumbling Jets with Todd Bowles at the command paid career loser Josh McCown annually over the 20 seasons. So quarterback Baker Mayfield was handed $8.5 million to quarterback the Bucs this season and allegedly compete with third-year man Kyle Trask.įrankly, that’s a weak quarterback salary and it has Joe wondering whether it came with a handshake and a wink.
