STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Mayfield will play final contract year after failed negotiations.

Baker Mayfield has announced he will play out the final year of his contract after contract negotiations did not reach his desired terms; the source notes this is a reasonable strategy similar to Kirk Cousins' approach, though it carries risk if the season goes poorly.
