Durham heads into a Tom Bradyless Tampa Bay in need of an offensive overhaul. Baker Mayfield is now on the sticks for the Bucs, who honestly, don’t have much in terms of a proven tight end.

In terms of “win now” or “stability” Tampa might not be a great place to play for a few years, but in terms of “play now” Payne couldn’t be in a better situation.
