TAMPA, Fla. - Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield said Wednesday that a key reason he emerged from "dark times" in 2022 - when he bounced around four different NFL teams after being a first overall draft pick in 2018 - was because the Bucs "let me be the best version of myself" and because he "had fun playing football again."

Mayfield, 28, also said he didn't know if he and the Bucs would ultimately strike a deal before the start of free agency, which kicked off Monday at noon with the NFL's negotiation window, which would allow the Bucs to talk to other quarterbacks and allow other teams to enter the picture.
