Bucs Lock Down Mayfield, Hire Robinson for Offense

0:00On March 31st, Tababay Buccaneers are heading into the last year of Baker Mayfield's three-year $100 million contract and the Glazer. Family wants to lock him up long term. General manager Jason Lickt made that clear at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix this week, calling Mayfield one of the toughest leaders on the squad. Earlier this week, Lickt said they're confident they'll work out a new deal, even without a set timeline. Meanwhile, Mayfield gets a fresh offensive coordinator in Zach Robinson, who's been five years on Sean McBays' ram staff before moving to the Falcons. Robinson steps in after the Bucks fire their previous coordinator, taking over an offense that started hot last season, but cooled off late. He's got ties to coaches like Liam Cohen, now headman for the Jaguars, who both worked with Mayfield before. Cohen predicts Mayfield will ball out again since Robinson's scheme mirrors the fast-paced attack from their top five scoring offense a year ago, with 4,500 passing yards,

1:0241 touchdowns, and a franchise best completion rate for Baker. Tampa's loaded with weapons from a strong line and running backs to talented receivers and resigned tight-in K-Dotten, so this set-up could spark. Big things as Mayfield eyes that extension in a maker-break year. That's your NFL news today update. AI powered and always on.
