Baker Mayfield "Not Anywhere Close" to New Contract With Buccaneers

Friday, June 5, 9:23 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield said that current contract talks "are not anywhere close to what we were thinking," but he's "gonna do everything he can to help his team win a Super Bowl," according to Jenna Laine of ESPN. Mayfield wants to stay in Tampa long term, but he doesn't want to focus on negotiations once training camp hits at the end of July. The 31-year-old veteran is entering the final year of a three-year, $100 million deal he signed in 2024, and his fantasy stock is on the decline due to mounting nagging injuries and the fact that he lost future Hall of Fame wide receiver Mike Evans to free agency this offseason. Mayfield finished as the QB12 in fantasy in 2025, throwing for 3,693 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 17 starts in his third year with the Bucs. It was a big dropoff after Mayfield threw for a career-high 4,500 yards, 41 touchdowns, and a league-leading 16 picks in 17 starts in 2024 to earn his second Pro Bowl berth. The Bucs still have weapons around him, but fantasy managers should be pegging Mayfield as more of a high-end QB2 than a surefire QB1 as he enters what could be his final season in Tampa.

Is Trevor Lawrence Finally Becoming the Can't-Miss Player That Was Promised?

Saturday, June 6, 5:37 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has taken more than five years to approach anything close to the generational billing that made him the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Now that he finds himself in the best situation of his young career, past fantasy hurts have left him somewhat overlooked and underrated by the dynasty community. A physical specimen at 6'6" and 220 pounds, Lawrence's rushing prowess was unlocked in his first season with Liam Coen, resulting in career-highs of 359 yards and nine rushing scores. Over the final 10 weeks of the 2025 season, he was the fantasy QB1, and while the pecking order of an incredibly deep Jaguars' receiving room is one of the more hotly contested debates in fantasy circles, Lawrence benefits from throwing to all of them. Still only 26 years old, Lawrence is RotoBaller's dynasty QB11, but if Coen and the Jaguars can continue to build upon what they established in 2025, he could soon be viewed as one of the biggest bargains in the game.
