Whatever you think about NFL preseason football and how little it matters in terms of predicting what comes next, completing 93.3% of pass attempts against other players on an NFL field isn't that bad.
Mayfield is on a modest one-year, $4 million deal. To put that in perspective, Taylor Heinicke got $7 million a year on a two-year deal from the Atlanta Falcons and Jarrett Stidham got $5 million over two years from the Denver Broncos. Mayfield, the former first overall pick, is already in the phase of his career in which he's just trying to prove he's still an NFL starter. The Bucs, who had little salary cap room after Tom Brady retired, had a starting spot available.
Still, the Buccaneers have to be happy with what they saw. There are still good players on the roster like Godwin and Mike Evans. whosevalue won't tank if Mayfield is adequate or better. The NFC South is probably the weakest division in the NFL. If Mayfield isn't bad, maybe the Buccaneers can be in playoff contention this season. They'd take that in what was supposed to be a transition season after Brady.
