Buccaneers betting on patience in the Baker Mayfield negotiations

The Buccaneers seem to like gambling. They’ve taken chances on a young assistant to become head coach, on drafting a kicker, sticking by quarterback Jameis Winston, bringing in Tom Brady (not much of a gamble, really), and now appear ready to let quarterback Baker Mayfield test free agency if it comes to that.

Reports have linked Mayfield to asking for an annual salary north of $40 million yet another discredited that claim, going as far as saying his agent — Tom Mills — denies the report they’ve asked that much from the Bucs. So where do both sides stand?
