Baker Mayfield not expected to join Steelers amid contract uncertainty

Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are far apart on a contract extension, potentially opening speculation on a 2027 move to the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, financial constraints are likely to prevent this from happening, as the Steelers have heavily invested in other players, leaving them with limited salary cap space. With Aaron Rodgers set to retire after the 2026 season, the Steelers may be forced to rely on younger quarterbacks. Current discussions around Mayfield’s future may continue as the offseason progresses.
