Baker Mayfield has credited his brief spell with the Los Angeles Rams as crucial moment in his career ahead of the 2023 season, when he'll be tasked to replace Tom Brady.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers would have had a wealth of options this off-season after Brady announced his retirement. With a solid offensive line and elite weapons at receiver, the Bucs would have been seen as the perfect landing spot for the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson and Derek Carr, who were all available.
However, the Bucs decided to not pursue any of those players, instead signing Mayfield to a one-year deal after his short stint with the Rams towards the end of the season. That being despite Mayfield's dismal run in recent years a starter.
