Baker Mayfield enjoyed a career year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season. And with wideout Chris Godwin returning to the team on a $66 million extension, the Buccaneers are anticipating a deep playoff run.
The Bucs have continued to shore up the depth on their offense, re-signing backup quarterback Kyle Trask, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Trask was Tampa Bay’s second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Kyle Trask is poised to hit free agency next week for the first time in his NFL career and has no idea what to expect. The Bucs backup quarterback has rarely seen the field in his four years in Tampa Bay since being the team’s second-round pick in 2021 following the team’s Super Bowl LV win.
The NFL offseason is fully underway with the Scouting Combine now complete before the new league year gets started next week with the opening of free agency right on its heels before teams take what they saw from the Combine and build their rosters with collegiate players through the NFL Draft in April.
Here are five moves the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should make in the coming months.
Former Florida Gators quarterback Kyle Trask might be heading north to Jacksonville this offseason— a trip that’d bring him past the college town where he spent two years as the starter tearing through SEC defenses.
ESPN’s Michael DiRocco mentions Buccaneers backup QB Kyle Trask as someone to keep an eye on for the backup job in Jacksonville behind QB Trevor Lawrence.
Could John Spytek bring familiar face with him? We know a few things. We know the Las Vegas Raiders badly need to upgrade at the quarterback position, and they will, without a doubt, add a quarterback this offseason.
Jameis Winston subbed in for Deshaun Watson in Week 8 during the 2024 season, a full week removed from Watson's season-ending Achilles tear and a forgettable Dorian Thompson-Robinson performance in relief of him.
Is quarterback on Tampa Bay's offseason wishlist? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Kyle Trask in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Trask, a holdover from the Tom Brady era, has been with the team the last four seasons.
Kyle Trask replaced Baker Mayfield at quarterback with 5:32 remaining in the third quarter. Mayfield injured his lower leg on a sack on third-and-8 with 6:44 left in the period.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have Baker Mayfield as their starting quarterback — that much is true. But if he goes down (knock on wood), the Bucs will turn to a player they drafted in the second round in 2021.

The Buccaneers offense made some strides Saturday night in Cincinnati one could say. Albeit it is preseason week one but the Pewter Pirates rush offense didn’t look too bad.
I have a lot of positives to say about this Buccaneers preseason opener. They were very strong on all sides of the ball. It was not perfect, but it was good.
Just because Trask was beat out by Mayfield this time around, that doesn’t mean he didn’t show flashes of being a potential starting quarterback down the road.
