Entering the final year of his contract, he and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reportedly decided to end extension negotiations and the 31-year-old will test free agency. It's unclear why talks fell through but Mayfield will be playing on a $39.975 salary cap hit before testing free agency next spring. Of course, Tampa Bay could decide to utilize a projected $50 million franchise tag on him but that seems unlikely. Mayfield could be a break-glass option and Tampa Bay may be willing to accept Richardson and a decent draft haul as compensation. Though it wouldn't be surprising whatsoever if Mayfield rules out New York entirely before even considering offers.
