What happened: Baker Mayfield is reporting to training camp Tuesday without a new deal in hand, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Jenna Laine. He had set the start of camp as his cutoff for negotiations.
Why it matters: The impasse leaves Tampa Bay's long-term quarterback plan unsettled entering the 2026 season. Playing out the contract could make a franchise tag or free agency relevant after the season.
By the numbers: Mayfield is entering the final season of the three-year, $100 million contract he signed in 2024.
What to watch: The Buccaneers hold their first closed practice Wednesday. The next contract checkpoint may come after the 2026 season if Mayfield's deadline holds.
