Introduction

Baker Mayfield is a football player. He wants a new contract with his team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But the player and the team do not agree on the money.

Baker Mayfield 是一名美式足球員。他希望與其所屬的坦帕灣海盜隊簽訂新合約，但球員與球隊在金額上無法達成共識。

Main Body

Mayfield wants a new deal by late July. He wants to focus on football during training camp. The team is not sure about the money because Mayfield had a bad year in 2025. He had injuries and the team did not win many games.

Mayfield 希望在七月底前達成新協議。他希望在訓練營期間專注於足球。球隊對金額並不確定，因為 Mayfield 在 2025 年表現不佳，經歷了傷病且球隊未能贏得太多場次。

Now the team is different. A great player, Mike Evans, left the team. He now plays for the San Francisco 49ers. Mayfield is sad about this. He thinks other players must now lead the team.

現在球隊的情況有所不同。一名頂尖球員 Mike Evans 離開了球隊，目前效力於三藩市 49 隊。Mayfield 對此感到難過，他認為現在必須由其他球員來領導球隊。

If the team and Mayfield do not agree, he can leave in 2027. Other teams like the New York Jets might want him. Other players in the league are watching this deal to see how much money they can get.

如果球隊與 Mayfield 無法達成共識，他可以在 2027 年離開。其他球隊（如紐約噴射機隊）可能會想要他。聯賽中的其他球員也在關注這筆交易，以衡量自己能獲得多少報酬。

Conclusion

Mayfield will stay if he and the team agree on money before July or if he plays very well in 2026.

如果 Mayfield 與球隊在七月前就金額達成共識，或者他在 2026 年表現極佳，他將會留隊。
