Even before signing with the team, Baker Mayfield was excited about how a potential partnership with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers might unfold.
The MMQB's Albert Breer reported Monday how "Mayfield was as much in on recruiting the Buccaneers as Tampa Bay was in on recruiting him last month."
The veteran quarterback proceeded to explain why:
"I finally had some [time] to think, I think that's the key word. And, yeah, just looking at it from a big-picture standpoint, I want to play this game for a long time. So where's the next spot that's going to be the most stable position, where I can come in and compete, and do the best I can to showcase what I'm capable of?
