Tampa Bay Buccaneers have traded their starting quarterback, but they are in luck as the NFL has a new Quarterback of the Future. The Bucs selected Trask out of Clemson with their fourth-round pick and he is now competing to be their starter on opening day against Chicago Bears.
The “blaine gabbert” is a quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has been playing since 2009 and was signed by the team in 2011, but he has not been able to replace Tom Brady.
Tom Brady said he hasn’t made up his mind about retiring one way or the other. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, according to Adam Schefter and a bevy of other national NFL writers, wants to retire this summer.
Brady is the only one who genuinely understands his plans for the summer. The Buccaneers are apparently prepared for life beyond TB12, with so much ambiguity surrounding his situation at the present. Should Brady retire, Tampa Bay will have a difficult challenge in replacing him.
What should the Buccaneers do if Brady decides to retire?
If Brady retires, the Buccaneers have two major options this summer. On the one hand, the skeleton of a playoff-caliber roster is still intact. If Bruce Arians and company are confident in their prospects of winning the NFC South again, it would make sense to look for a seasoned quarterback to take Brady’s position.
When the Buccaneers finally got a mid-40s Brady, they had a lot of success. It’s difficult to blame them for returning to that well. Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Derek Carr, Deshaun Watson, and Carson Wentz are just a handful of the quarterbacks that may pique Tampa Bay’s attention.
The Buccaneers, on the other hand, might easily see Brady’s retirement as the end of their championship window. The Buccaneers weren’t very good before Brady, and it’s logical to believe they won’t be much better now. Rather than trying to extend their competitive window by acquiring another veteran quarterback, Tampa Bay might focus on rebuilding and retooling in 2023.
Kyle Trask, a second-round selection in 2021, comes into play here.

Kyle Trask was the Buccaneers’ second-round choice in the 2021 NFL Draft and was the starting quarterback for the Florida Gators in 2019 and 2020. Due to a general lack of outstanding attributes, Trask was an under-the-radar talent going up to the draft. Tampa Bay, on the other hand, definitely recognized something in him that was worth taking a gamble on.
This past offseason, the Buccaneers were in full win-now mode. The fact that they spent a second-round selection on Trask says volumes about the value they see in him.
During the pre-draft process, Trask was never pegged as a prospective starting quarterback. His final year numbers at Florida, though, were still impressive. He threw for 4,283 yards and 43 touchdowns in his career. Florida also concluded the year as the nation’s No. 13 rated team.
Trask “will require an effective play-caller, protection, and playmakers around him” to fulfill his full potential, according to the Draft Network. The good news for Trask is that he already has all of this in Tampa Bay if he is given the franchise’s keys next season.
The Buccaneers’ decision to give Trask a year at quarterback makes sense.
Take a look at the NFL. Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Matthew Stafford have all dominated the playoffs. It’s exceedingly difficult to find an elite quarterback.
No one doubts Trask’s ability to play at this level of domination. He’s not even close to being as talented as these guys, and he’ll never match Brady’s 5,000-yard season. However, there is much to be said for Tampa Bay waiting to see what it has with its second-round selection before chasing a new franchise quarterback aggressively.
Because Brady has retired, the Buccaneers do not need to dismantle everything and tank. However, a period of retooling looks to be in their near future. It’s the ideal opportunity to witness Trask in action in an NFL offense.
