Extension locks in Mayfield despite coaching/GM uncertainty; could hamper future hires.
Baker MayfieldQBTB
Extending Mayfield now creates organizational risk given uncertainty around Head Coach Todd Bowles and General Manager Jason Licht. Bowles is on the hot seat after missing the playoffs in embarrassing fashion and likely won't survive a second straight year without a playoff appearance. If the team performs poorly enough to fire both Bowles and Licht, any new coaching or GM candidate would be stuck with Mayfield as their signal caller for 2027 and 2028, making it a tough sell to external candidates.
