Baker Mayfield Rumors: NFL Coaches 'Admire' Bucs QB amid Contract Buzz, Falcons Link

One year after settling for a prove-it contract from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baker Mayfield figures to be a sought-after free agent this offseason.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo, coaches around the NFL "admire admire Mayfield's competitiveness and skill level" as he looks for a new contract.

The report cited the Atlanta Falcons, with new head coach Raheem Morris and offensive coordinator Zac Robinson taking over, as a team that could have interest in Mayfield.

Rapoport reported on Feb. 8 that Tampa has a "leg up" to keep Mayfield and the "first deadline" for the situation will be the franchise tag window in March.
