The primary player for the Saints demonstrates an ideal response to Baker Mayfield’s recent contract extension.
The New Orleans Saints received some noteworthy news within their division on Sunday afternoon as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured quarterback Baker Mayfield with a contract extension, ensuring he remains in the NFC South. Saints cornerback Alontae Taylor’s response to Mayfield’s new deal was notably clever.
It’s evident that Taylor’s remarks are aimed at teasing a rival quarterback, perhaps to add a bit of spice to the rivalry. While Mayfield delivered a strong performance against New Orleans in their initial encounter last season, he struggled significantly in their subsequent matchup against the Saints.
In the latter game, Taylor managed to intercept Mayfield, contributing to the Saints’ defensive dominance that kept their playoff hopes alive, albeit temporarily. Although the playoff aspirations didn’t materialize, Taylor showcased impressive performance for the Saints in the latter part of the 2023 season. Despite facing some ups and downs, he consistently demonstrated resilience and a knack for bouncing back from setbacks.
