The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to enter a new era after the retirement of legendary quarterback Tom Brady, and signing Baker Mayfield was a step in that direction.
Bucs general manager Jason Licht said in a statement that Mayfield will compete for the starting job, which is an opportunity he relishes:
"Baker is a tough competitor who plays with the kind of passion and confidence that you look for in a quarterback. He's a young veteran with good upside who should thrive in our new offensive system with receivers like Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Russell Gage.
