The New England Patriots are still struggling to replace Tom Brady under center, but it didn't take the Tampa Bay Buccaneers long. They signed former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield to a one-year deal in 2023, and he earned a three-year, $115 million extension after leading the Bucs to an NFC South title, and a postseason victory.

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield says he’s a different kind of leader than Tom Brady was. Mayfield said on the Casa de Klub podcast that he and Brady have “very different personalities” and that he thinks it’s a relief to some in the locker room that they’re not dealing with Brady’s intensity anymore.

When seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady announced his retirement from the NFL in February 2023, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quickly found their replacement a month later, signing then-free agent Baker Mayfield to a one-year deal.
