3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Tampa Bay — the market puts it at 93%, with $11 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Baker Mayfield joins the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as his next team before December 1, 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the date of the linked injury story for the deadline, but the actual cutoff is December 1, 2026.
  • Baker Mayfield — the market puts it at 14%, closing 18 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Baker Mayfield ranks in the top 10 among all quarterbacks for total scoring during the 2026-27 NFL regular season. The outcome is No if he does not reach that ranking by the end of that specific regular season. Readers often mistake the resolution deadline, assuming it depends on playoff performance or a different season.
  • Baker Mayfield — the market puts it at 35%, closing 2 Feb 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Baker Mayfield throws for at least 4,000 passing yards during the 2026-27 NFL regular season. It resolves to No if he fails to reach that total. Readers often mistake the deadline, thinking the count ends after a specific game rather than at the conclusion of the entire regular season.
