The Buccaneers are hoping that quarterback Baker Mayfield will be able to lead them to the promised land this season, but it appears he and the franchise are at a standstill when it comes to his long-term future in <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/nfl\/teams\/tampa-bay\/\" data-i13n=\"sec:content-canvas;subsec:anchor_text;elm:context_link\" data-ylk=\"slk:Tampa;sec:content-canvas;subsec:anchor_text;elm:context_link;itc:0\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Tampa&quot;,&quot;ySubModuleName&quot;:&quot;anchor_text&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tampa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cContract stuff \u2014 it\u2019s happening, it\u2019s starting, the talks and what not,\u201d\u00a0Mayfield told reporters on Friday. \u201cBut [we\u2019re] not anywhere close to what we were thinking. So, I\u2019d to be here long-term, but right now that\u2019s not the case. I\u2019m under contract for 2026 and the guys in that locker room and that staff know that I\u2019m still going to do everything I can to win a Super Bowl. To me, that\u2019s the priority.
