There’s Only One Reason Why Patriots Should Pursue Baker Mayfield

Baker Mayfield broke out in first season with the Buccaneers, and he’s become a marquee free agent who should be on the New England Patriots’ radar.

The 2018 No. 1 pick’s career seemed to be over after the Cleveland Browns unceremoniously kicked him out for Deshaun Watson and he failed to showcase his talents in 2022 with the Carolina Panthers and Rams, though he did show flashes in his short stint in Los Angeles. However, a season under offensive coordinator Dave Canales and reuniting with former Texas A&M teammate Mike Evans proved to be exactly what the Mayfield needed as he led Tampa Bay to another NFC South crown and an upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round.
