Baker Mayfield Apologizes for Cursing so Much in Netflix's 'Quarterback'

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield addressed concerns over his profanity-laden behavior captured in Netflix's documentary series 'Quarterback,' which aired its third season in June 2026. The show followed Mayfield along with other NFL quarterbacks during the 2025 season. Mayfield admitted that some of his on-field intensity, including occasional use of strong language, might not be appropriate for younger audiences. He emphasized that his fiery demeanor stems from competitive drive rather than personal flaws, stating he wants to be seen as focused on the game. Mayfield also expressed disappointment over not securing a contract extension with the Buccaneers ahead of training camp, despite being labeled a 'franchise quarterback' by team leadership. The Buccaneers' 2026 regular-season opener is scheduled for September 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
