The Bucs dealt with a lot of injuries in 2025, and several players are ready to turn the page and see others perform the way they know they can. From Baker Mayfield to Cody Mauch to Bucky Irving, a lot of those players looking for a bounceback are on offense. In fact, two of those names were connected this week after one spoke to the media.
Mauch is coming back from a season-ending knee injury and has a chip of his own on his shoulder. He spoke to the media on Friday and shared how several Bucs are itching to prove themselves, but especially Baker Mayfield.
He explained it while talking about the contract issues between Mayfield and the franchise, saying, “It sucks to see him go through this and whatnot, but it’s not going to change his mentality, the way he plays. . .he’s going to go off.”
Mauch will play a big part in Mayfield having the year he expects. The offensive line being hurt led to some issues with Mayfield and his health. If both parties are healthy and there for each other on the field, then the results will likely speak for themselves.
