Baker Mayfield looks to rebound in 2026 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a disappointing end to the 2025 season. The Buccaneers hired Zac Robinson, formerly of the Atlanta Falcons, to implement a spread-heavy offense potentially suited for Mayfield's skill set. Robinson, known for using pre-snap motion and play-action, aims to optimize the strengths of the roster. With a focus on the passing game and using multiple formations, there is hope that Mayfield can replicate his successful 2024 season if he can stay healthy and receive strong support from the offensive line. The Buccaneers continue to adapt after changing play-callers for the fourth consecutive year.
