The two signal-callers had been engaged in a competition throughout the offseason for the starting position, which opened up following the retirement of legendary quarterback Tom Brady.

Mayfield signed a one-year contract with Tampa Bay in March. The 2018 No. 1 overall pick split the 2022 season between the Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Rams, appearing in 12 total games with 10 starts and throwing for 2,163 yards, 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
