the 1 year 6 mil deal he signed is looking like a steal.
Some saying closer to 10 mil a year
ive heard others say 35-40
i think somewhere in between imho.
3 years 75 mil? 40 guaranteed.
too much or not enough?
i mean ideal would be 1 year, $25 million
what you don’t want to do is pull a Seahawks or giants and give the mediocre QB $35-$40 million a year for 3,4 years
Baker is playing well and deserves an extension but again I’m not sure what his starting options will be next year
who will be in the market for a QB - Patriots, Raiders, Bucs, Falcons, Vikings, Commanders.
maybes to Bears, Giants, Cardinals, and Packers but if anything they go in the draft.
Kirk Cousins likely starts somewhere
Would imagine baker camp will want a longer term deal but maybe they settle on a 2 year, $55 million deal this way Bucs aren’t handi capped with the contract
and yes want baker back as there is no better option in free agency next year. Sign him to a deal, use draft picks to build up offensive line, then draft our guy in 2025.

Careful . . . the ANGRY Debatable Dans will not stand for that kind of "football acumen."
It depends upon how the Bucs plan on re-signing their other players too.
Evans 24m, winfield 16m wirfs 25m are all ideal contracts, not sure whats left for baker hes prob getting 25-30, his last playoff game is his real worth. Hes viewed to be in the Jimmy G area than the geno area
Don't think it matters based on Licht's tweet about an hour ago.

Licht loves baker but he cant let it cloud his judgement of what mediocre looks like

I mean, it's a pretty telling tweet.
So, I'm going to assume they're looking at something with a minimum of 3+years.
And, yes, maybe something in the Geno range.

didnt see the tweet but agree.
great game today but is it a rare great day or (as Evans suggests) just the result of settling into a new offense?
I think we are just beginning to roll, let's revisit his contract after the season.
I'm so in on resigning him. Trade for a veteran center and draft a power back and we're good on offense. Linebacker, linebacker, safety.
Rest of picks;
Wide receiver, tight end, corner.
I’ve been worried that Baker would do just enough to win a big contract and cause us to pass on this QB class. It appears to be creeping back that way again and if he wins in New Orleans again? It’ll be all but guaranteed.
I will be cheering him on, of course. Especially if the offense looks like it did today. Go Bucs!
There is plenty of cap maneuvering to go around to sign Evans, Winfield, Wirfs, and Mayfield.
now that White isn't a thought that helps. Should see guys like Barrett, Gage, and Jensen being cut in some fashion to clear up room
Hell, i'd argue can't stay healthy Dean and Davis are less of roster priorities over those 4 guys.
Baker is going to sign for something like 3 years, $80M. It will be a bad contract.

$27M a year is not bad unless you mean the length
Derek Carr is at $37.5M
Daniel Jones at $40M
Deshaun Watson at $46M
Kyler Murray at $46.1M
Russell Wilson at $49M
Jalen Hurts at $51M.
his contract would be in the Geno Smith, Jimmy G range and i'd take that particularly if he's going to have a team with no business in the playoff hunt.....in the playoff hunt.

IIRC there was a lot of grief given to Badabing when he suggested mayfield may be playing himself into a one year $25 million deal
