Quarterback Baker Mayfield is currently preparing for the upcoming campaign while navigating a notable contractual situation with the front office, having broken off discussions on a multi-year extension prior to the start of training camp. As a result, he is set to play out the final year of his current contract without a new long-term deal secured, pushing any potential contract negotiations to the subsequent offseason. Despite these ongoing business matters, he remains fully committed to leading the team on the field, participating actively in practices, and preparing to guide the offense as the definitive starting signal-caller through the rigors of the competitive schedule.
