Todd Bowles says Baker Mayfield has earned the right to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2024.

Mayfield, who was on a one-year deal, led the Buccaneers to a Wild Card win over the Philadelphia Eagles before falling to the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon.

"He most definitely has," Bowles said of Mayfield playing well enough to return. "Obviously, it's too early to talk about that and business is business, but Baker had a hell of a year. We love him. The guys love him. And we'll see what the future holds."
