Allowing your quarterback to “test” free agency is like letting your girlfriend go out dancing while you stay at home. Either you don’t really care for her or you’re thinking about someone else. In an article by Mike Florio, he explains that Tampa Bay plans to let Baker test free agency, and I believe Tampa Bay will be surprised by how valuable a top-ten quarterback truly is.
