Why 2027 NFL Draft is perfect time for Buccaneers to find Baker Mayfield’s replacement
The Buccaneers could be well positioned to take a QB in the 2027 NFL Draft. They shouldn't let Baker Mayfield stand in the way. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are struggling in the 2026 NFL season, entering Week 7 with a 1-5 record and were rumored to be selling at the trade deadline. Despite signing Baker Mayfield to a $165 million extension, Mayfield has not performed well since his contract. The Buccaneers, who have five losses this season, could be in line for the top of the 2027 NFL Draft, which is expected to be a strong class with quarterback talent. The advantage of having a franchise quarterback on a rookie contract is the best advantage an NFL team can hope for, as rookies don't earn as much as established veterans. The first overall pick from the 20 27 NFL Draft carries just a $12.14 million cap hit as a rookie, compared to the $55 million or more that veteran starters demand on the open market. If Tampa Bay falls in love with a quarterback prospect, they may be able to trade up the board if they hold a premium pick.
