Falcons consider Baker Mayfield as potential QB for 2027 season

Summary

The Atlanta Falcons are exploring options to improve their quarterback position ahead of the 2027 NFL season. With Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. currently injured, CBS Sports suggests Baker Mayfield could be a fit if he and Tampa Bay part ways after 2026. Mayfield has expressed dissatisfaction with the Buccaneers, raising questions about his future. His previous relationship with Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski could play a significant role in any potential move. Mayfield played for Stefanski in Cleveland, where performance fluctuated but included the Browns’ first playoff win since 1994.
