Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield revealed Thursday he felt slighted by the contract negotiations with his team, specifically because an agreement wasn't reached before training camp began. He had set that as a personal deadline.
Mayfield stated that he felt "disrespected a little bit" that he and the Buccaneers were unable to finalize a new contract prior to the start of training camp. The specifics of the offers made by the team weren’t detailed, but Mayfield's comment indicates dissatisfaction with the process and outcome of those discussions.
The quarterback did not elaborate on what specific aspects of the negotiations led him to feel this way, nor did he indicate whether talks were ongoing. His statement was made Thursday, as players began reporting for training camp, signaling his self-imposed deadline had passed without a resolution.
