If he doesn't though and it looks a lot like the second half of 2025 for Baker, the Bucs would have one of the worst contracts in the NFL on their hands with no realistic way to get rid of it.

Poor performance would saddle Bucs with one of NFL's worst QB contracts.

If Mayfield performs poorly—similar to his second-half 2025 form—the Buccaneers would be saddled with one of the worst contracts in the NFL with no realistic way to escape it. The source cites Kyler Murray and Tua Tagovailoa as cautionary examples: both signed massive extensions with their original teams, failed to reach the next level, and are now playing for minimal money elsewhere. A bad QB contract at the quarterback position can sink a franchise for years.
