Either quarterback would compete with former second-round QB Kyle Trask, who is currently the only other quarterback on the roster, if signed. Mayfield, 27, was ...

Brissett, 30, is a former third-round pick of the Patriots back in 2016. He completed 60 percent of his passes for 2,163 yards, 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions. In 2022, Brissett appeared in 16 games for the Browns and completed 64 percent of his passes for 2,608 yards, 12 touchdowns and six interceptions. 1 overall pick out of Oklahoma in 2018. He also rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown. In 2022, Mayfield appeared in seven games for the Panthers and five games for the Rams.

Reports say that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could have interest in former Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield. It would be his fourth NFL team.

And although Brady had a subpar outing in what turned out to be his final (we think?) season, there’s little doubt he could still play. After leaving the Browns in a trade with Carolina, he could not revive a Panthers team that played better after his departure for Los Angeles. It’s not difficult to believe that Mayfield — a former No.

Will the Bucs target Baker Mayfield as the veteran free agent QB to compete with Kyle Trask? That question and more in this week's Bucs Mailbag.

I would be fine having Griffin back as a mentor to Kyle Trask and whoever else the Bucs bring in to compete for the starting job. Even if he’s the veteran practice squad QB again, Griffin could find a way to help the Bucs in the film room at the very least. While his career never panned out on the field, he made a damn good living as a backup or third-string quarterback with the Saints and the Bucs. As for Carolina, the Panthers are poised to draft a quarterback at No. In fact, the Bucs could feel quite dangerous with Mayfield as the starter if he wins the job. ANSWER: The Bucs have certainly had their opportunities to find a franchise quarterback. I’m not saying this will be a Glazers decision if the Bucs wind up signing Mayfield to compete with Trask for the starting quarterback job. But time will tell if Carr is truly an upgrade and worth the money. Part of this dilemma is the fact that the Bucs may have missed on some of these signal callers. Just the chance of having Mayfield on the team as a potential starter could sway some more national exposure for the Bucs when the schedule comes out in early May after the 2023 NFL Draft. It will certainly be an interesting and entertaining quarterback competition if the outspoken Mayfield ends up joining the Bucs.

They have a number of veteran players signed to expensive contracts and entered the offseason $57 million over the cap. Trask was a second-round draft pick in 2021, but he hasn't had an opportunity to show anything in the NFL thus far. There's an argument that Brissett is the best free-agent quarterback available this offseason. The Buccaneers might need to find a bridge quarterback for 2023.

Baker Mayfield #6 of the Carolina Panthers runs for a touchdown against the Cleveland Browns during their game at Bank of America Stadium on September 11, 2022 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Within a day, the Rams claimed Mayfield. Beckham forced his way off the roster and the Browns stumbled to an 8-9 finish and missed the playoffs.

For the first time in years, there was genuine hope for a floundering franchise that has had 32 starting QBs since 1999. The quarterback's time with the Browns included fewer memorable moments than distracting ones as he couldn’t end the team’s long search for a franchise QB. Former Browns general manager John Dorsey was enamored with Mayfield’s talent and swayed by his swagger, choosing the Heisman Trophy winner from Oklahoma first despite other options, including Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. He spent four years with the Cleveland Browns.
