With no tag for Baker Mayfield, will he stay in Tampa?

[Woodman]

Tampa Bay’s decision to apply the franchise tag to safety Antoine Winfield, Jr. means that quarterback Baker Mayfield will have a straight path to free agency.

The question now becomes where he’ll go, and what he’ll get.

He has said he wants to stay with the Buccaneers. The Buccaneers want to keep him. Receiver Mike Evans recently re-committed for two years; surely, that didn’t happen without Evans having some idea as to who the quarterback will be.

If he's smart he'll stay in Tampa. I went to a game vs the Giants that he started for Carolina & he was bad. He should stay where he was successful & not risk sucking again on a new team.

Good call!
