Maybe the Tampa Bay Buccaneers know something about backup quarterback Kyle Trask the rest of us don’t. Maybe that’s why they keep putting their faith in Trask despite throwing just 11 passes through his first 4 seasons.

ESPN’s Ben Solak called the Buccaneers bringing Trask back as their No. 2 quarterback as the team’s worst offseason move.

“I prefer my contending teams to take QB2 a little more seriously,” Solak wrote on March 26. “Trask has attempted exactly 11 passes in NFL action (and completed four of them, for as much as that matters). What happens if Baker Mayfield goes down for a month while the 7-4 Buccaneers are in the thick of the NFC South race? Do they really trust Trask to go 2-2 and keep them on a playoff pace? They’d know better than me, as I have only 11 Trask passes to consider. Far more experienced QB2s were available, though, and I hope the Bucs don’t find themselves wishing they looked elsewhere to bolster the position.”

Trask signed a 1-year, $2.78 million contract with the Buccaneers on March 12. He spent the first 2 years of his career as the backup to Tom Brady and the last 2 seasons as the backup to Baker Mayfield. Trask’s new contract will push his career earnings to $8.2 million following the 2025 season.
