00:00Well, let's start it off with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, an absolute train wreck going on for Jason Light, the
00:06general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
00:08So let's put this all in context here. Mike Evans in the offseason says the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not
00:16a Super Bowl contending team.
00:17What does he do? One of the greatest, if not the greatest offensive player in the history of the Buccaneers
00:22decides to leave and go to San Francisco.
00:24In his introduction interview and his introduction press conference, what does he say?
00:30I'm glad to be in a place that has a true chance to win a Super Bowl. Fast forward.
00:35Now you end up pissing off Vita Vea, their best defensive lineman that they've had since Warren Sapp.
00:42Look, Tampa Bay doesn't do a lot of good things on defense, but a year ago, the one thing that
00:46they do do, well, that is stop the run.
00:49And if you don't have Vita Vea on the field, you are not a good defensive football team.
00:55What does he say? I demand a trade. Contract negotiations not going very well.
01:00He wants to go play on the West Coast, either with the San Francisco 49ers or with the Las Vegas
01:07Raiders.
01:07And so they have to deal with that mess. Then they piss on Baker Mayfield.
01:13Look, Baker Mayfield came to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and remember something.
01:18He had to go and battle out whether or not he was going to be the starting quarterback after Tom
01:24Brady with that stiff Kyle Trask,
01:27who has done nothing and getting workouts now to hopefully end up making a football team.
01:33That was a poor draft choice by Jason Light.
01:35That was supposed to be the heir parent to Tom Brady, the second round pick out of Florida.
01:41What happens? Well, Baker Mayfield in three years has rejuvenated his career.
01:47It's been one of the best reclamation projects next to Sam Darnold.
01:51And here he is. He's looking for a contract that's got a five on it.
01:55You know what the Buccaneers offered? A two-year extension.
01:59He's like, forget it. Let's not forget something about Baker Mayfield.
02:03Baker Mayfield has gambled on himself before.
02:06He did it at Texas Tech. He did it at Oklahoma.
02:10And he'll do it again here.
02:12You talk about an open market at the end of this year.
02:15Mayfield has a year like he did two years ago.
02:18And he puts up 4,500 passing yards and 41 touchdowns.
02:22You're going to have a boatload of teams vying for his services.
02:27And one of the things you have to love about this guy,
02:29let's not forget the incompetence of the Carolina Panthers.
02:33They had both Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield playing scout team defensive end three years ago.
02:41Think they'd like to have that project back again and maybe have one of those guys as their starting quarterback?
02:47Absolutely true.
02:48Man, Mayfield wants a deal and the Bucs have hedged.
02:53Guy's delivered. It's time to pay the guy.
02:55Guy's delivered. It's time to pay the guy.
