What happened: NFL Network's Insiders, Sara Walsh alongside reporter Steve Wyche, spent a segment digging into Baker Mayfield's contract situation and where he stands with the Buccaneers heading into the offseason. The discussion comes as extension talks with Tampa Bay have stretched on without a resolution.

Why it matters: Mayfield has been the Bucs' unquestioned starter since 2023 and the team has kept finding reasons to keep the conversation open rather than close it. A quarterback who has held the job that long and that steadily shouldn't still be a topic for a full studio segment instead of a signed deal.
