The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jason Licht signed journeyman veteran quarterback Baker Mayfield to a one-year "prove-it" deal in 2023 after the retirement of legendary signal caller Tom Brady.

Baker Mayfield's career was sent out to sea after the Browns traded for Deshaun Watson in 2021. They went all in on the former Texans quarterback and gave up on their former number one overall pick who had led them to their only playoff victory in the last 30 years.

As Baker Mayfield walked out of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' indoor facility, a coat of orange dye making his hair brighter than that day's sun, a big smile lit up his face as his teammates took one look at his head.
