Love him or hate him, this is a done deal!

Yes, it’ll give Rod Munch something to complain about, and he’ll have Baker to blame for Bowles terrible head coaching/lousy defense/clock mismanagement.

Not with Todd there. All these people leaving the boat now we have cap space. See what he does this year if not let’s go get someone else starting with a coach. Fire Todd

Bigger question – given current coaching status ——-
Does Baker want to extend?
March 25th, 2026 at 7:34 am
I’m betting he wouldn’t sign it at this point. I wouldn’t. I’d wait and see if I were going to be stuck with Bowles first next season. Play it out.

Nope, got to see it play out. Had an ok 2023, great 2024 with a great OC, and regressed badly in 2025, especially from the Lions game on. Paying 50M+ to a potentialy average QB that seems to get hurt every year isn’t worth it. If he flops again I’d much rather save the cap space to load up the roster and draft a QB in what looks like a pretty good 2027 QB class

Let’s put it this way: Todd’s contract is up next year. What’s our best chance of landing a top coaching candidate, with Baker or without Baker? To answer that question, ask yourself if Liam would have waited another year before taking up the Jacksonville job had they not had a promising franchise QB in town?

Chances are that Baker doesn’t want his contract extended yet, UNLESS it’s for a boatload of money. And if THAT’S the case, the Bucs shouldn’t be doing it.
Baker has shown himself to be inconsistent. IF he has another meh year (like 2025), why pay him top dollar to stay here? But IF he has another great year (like 2024), he’d be in the perfect position to negotiate with any number of teams for a high $$$, long-term contract.
Baker loves to bet on himself, and he’s in the perfect position right now with the Bucs. We don’t have a ‘franchise QB-in-waiting’; Baker’s the Alpha dog. Bucs just restructured his current contract to reduce the CAP hit for 2026. It now has THREE Void years (2027-2029) totaling a tad over $30 mil in terms of remaining CAP hits. That’s very similar to what happened when Tom Brady retired from here after 2022. And it took us awhile to dig out from under that.
And the Bucs will have to deal with that $30.2 mil, one way of another. Either by giving him another contract, and thus spreading it out, OR by eating it all in 1 year (2027). Look at all the other players whose contracts expire in 2027 (Mayfield, Godwin, Vea, Robinson, Kancey, Muhammad, Nelson, McLaughlin, Tucker and a bunch of others) and it seems that 2027 will be a LOT more challenging than 2026 has been.

No, make him earn it. Healthy or “injured” he can’t and never wins big games. Too many turnovers as well. No, no, no!

Inconsistent qb’s are not hard to find. I do like the guys attitude, but it’s not worth NFL star QB money. I hope that he takes a team friendly deal and wants to stay and help rebuild. Anything more will just expose his true intent. If he were to get released today does anybody believe he would get picked up for $50 million? If so, then trade him to that team ASAP!!!

Add me as a YES! Absolutely!
March 25th, 2026 at 8:08 am
People are just crazy. Its incredibly difficult to find an elite QB in the NFL. We should sign him tomorrow for 4-5 years. Crazy not to do it while the cost is far less prohibitive!
March 25th, 2026 at 8:57 am
HELL NAW!!! He is to inconsistent and can’t win big games. Not sure what you yes guys are watching every Sunday. Too many times I see him take off running for no reason and there are open WR down the field. That is not good QB play. If this team extend him this team will never win a SB!
