xCruzo Brief
Baker Mayfield says he’s going “all in” on the 2026 season after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers failed to meet his demand for a $50 million-per-year contract. With training camp underway, Tampa faces additional disruption as veteran defensive tackle Vita Vea requested a trade and is reportedly holding out. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Mayfield has told players and coaches that he has shut down contract negotiations and is focused on the season, noting he could be franchise tagged next year for roughly $47 million in 2027. In 2025, Mayfield posted 3,693 passing yards, 26 TDs and 11 interceptions.
