Cardinals linked to Baker Mayfield after Buccaneers fallout

Summary

The Arizona Cardinals are now viewed as a strong candidate to acquire Baker Mayfield next offseason due to his recent frustrations with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mayfield's comments regarding his contract have reportedly upset the Buccaneers, as he expressed disappointment over not receiving a deal he deemed appropriate. With the Cardinals currently lacking a long-term quarterback solution, NFL writer Bryan DeArdo suggests they are positioned to pursue Mayfield, especially after releasing Kyler Murray earlier this year. The team is expected to explore quarterback options, with Mayfield potentially becoming a top target as he enters free agency in March 2027.
