He went on to articulate his thought process on his ongoing contract dispute by saying,"I wanted a deal done. And, set the deadline and told them [Buccaneers] it was going to be 'all ball' after that, and I did mean that. And therein lies where the line of delineation begins between his handling of a contract controversy versus that of what Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud and the Texans, and it feels like comparing the Boston Tea Party to narratively-influenced pillow fight. While the rift continues to develop between Mayfield and the Buccaneers, it seems like Stroud and his team are in a highly productive place in their relationship.
