00:00How do you think this plays out?
00:02Mayfield turned down that two-year contract extension,
00:05$50 million-plus that was reportedly in that contract.
00:09You think he's playing somewhere else in 27?
00:12I think eventually the Bucs will give him what he wants,
00:14which is more than two years.
00:15The money wasn't the issue.
00:17It was the length of the contract.
00:18Baker wants some guarantees, three, four, five years.
00:21He's going to get more than $50.
00:22I mean, if Tua Tagafaloa can get $52 million,
00:25he's going to get more than that.
00:26So I think it's just a matter of do the Bucs.
00:29This is what the Bucs do.
00:30This is no surprise.
00:32The Bucs always start small, always start short.
00:35They'll get to where they want to get to.
00:36They're not going to want to give up on a guy who has been the franchise
00:39for the last couple of years, and that's what Baker wants.
00:41Baker wants them to show them that he is the franchise.
00:44A two-year deal is not a franchise.
00:46So they started with a three-year deal.
00:47Now he wants another three- to four-year deal, and he'll get it.
00:50If you're Tampa, you struck gold with a quarterback
00:55who had been next to nothing for five years in the NFL,
00:58and now he's a 4,000-yard passer,
01:01you'd basically be the Miami Dolphins if you give up on that.
01:04So they'll sign him.
01:05It'll happen, and they'll play their thing.
01:07The difference here is Baker put a deadline in place,
01:10and he called their bluff and said, well, I'm not going to do it now.
01:13I'm going to wait.
01:14So it'll get done eventually.
01:16It'll be a little musical chairs, but it'll get done.
