NFL Rumors: Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers Still Have 'Mutual Interest' in New Contract

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and quarterback Baker Mayfield, who will become a free agent if a new deal is not struck by the beginning of the new league year (March 13), still have "mutual interest" in reuniting.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the latest.

"Baker Mayfield and the Bucs do have mutual interest here," Rapoport said in part.

"Them being together makes a lot of sense. The fact that they hired Liam Coen as offensive coordinator, who Baker Mayfield is familiar with, makes sense too."

Mayfield experienced a career resurrection in Tampa Bay last season, throwing for 28 touchdowns and 4,044 yards while leading the Bucs to the NFC South title and a playoff win too.
