2025 Fantasy Outlook
Trask returns for his fifth season in the Buccaneers' QB room after re-upping on a one-year deal this offseason. However, as is customary, he's projected to barely see the field if all goes as planned. The 2021 second-round pick has only 11 regular-season pass attempts through his first four seasons and should have a clear path to No. 2 quarterback duties once again behind Baker Mayfield, who's played in all 34 regular-season games and three postseason contests since joining the Buccaneers in 2023.

Trask (shoulder) was released by Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Trask lost the backup quarterback battle to Teddy Bridgewater. The 2021 second-round pick's tenure with the Buccaneers comes to an end after four years, during which Trask didn't log a regular-season start. Trask has been among the numerous NFL underachievers from Florida's prolific 2020 NCAA offense, which also included 2021 first-round picks Kyle Pitts and Kadarius Toney. With his shoulder healed, Trask will look to latch on with another team, though it will likely be on a practice squad.

2021
Trask hoped to push Baker Mayfield for starts last season, but that never materialized and he ended up attempting just one pass (which fell incomplete). With Mayfield back in the fold with a new $100 million contract, the song remains the same for Trask. At 6-5, 236, Trask has a strong arm and threw with touch and accuracy in college, but as long as Mayfield keeps performing, he’s stuck as the backup. The Buccaneers return their key offensive playmakers, and while offensive coordinator Dave Canales bolted for Carolina, Tampa Bay hired former Kentucky OC Liam Coen to continue the Sean McVay-derived offense -- Coen previously coached under McVay with the Rams. Trask isn’t particularly mobile, so probably wouldn’t offer much rushing upside if he takes the field.
A 2021 second-round pick, Trask spent the last two years watching Tom Brady before getting the chance this summer to compete with Baker Mayfield for a starting job. The Bucs settled on Mayfield as the Week 1 starter after two weeks of preseason action, but Trask still stands a decent chance to make starts at some point this year. The 6-5 Trask is at least four inches taller than Mayfield, who has a similarly large advantage when it comes to experience -- Trask has nine NFL pass attempts to his name, all of which came in Week 18 last season. While not particularly mobile, Trask was excellent in the pocket at Florida with a 67.9 percent completion rate and 69/15 TD/INT, highlighted by 4,283 yards and 43 TDs his senior year. He has a strong arm, with touch and accuracy to stretch the field. The Bucs have quality receiving options and hired first-time coordinator Dave Canales, a long-time Seattle assistant who last year coached quarterbacks. Trask has untapped potential, whereas the 28-year-old Mayfield is a known quantity.
Trask spent his rookie season getting a priceless first-hand look at Tom Brady and his daily routine. The Florida product again will have a chance to immerse himself in that process this season, as both Brady and Blaine Gabbert are back and therefore project to relegate Trask to third-string duties. Trask, whose upside is underscored by the 7,224 passing yards and 68 touchdowns he compiled in his two-year starting stint for the Gators, figures to get plenty of reps throughout the remainder of OTAs, training camp and preseason before retreating to a much less active role during the regular season.
While there was plenty of attention heaped on other signal-callers in this year's draft, Trask wasn't exactly without pedigree after racking up 7,224 passing yards and 68 touchdowns versus 15 interceptions in his two-season starting stint at Florida. He isn't especially mobile but still had seven rushing scores during that span. Trask now gets a chance to rub elbows with future Hall of Famer Tom Brady and his veteran backup, Blaine Gabbert. There's a chance Trask is ticketed for the practice squad to open his career, considering the Buccaneers also opted to bring back Ryan Griffin. However, the franchise clearly believes he's worth a long look by virtue of the second-round investment made in him.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could land in Vegas
QBTampa Bay Buccaneers
August 25, 2025
Trask will be released by the Buccaneers after losing the No. 2 quarterback job to Teddy Bridgewater, but he could wind up with the Raiders, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Trask is currently dealing with a minor shoulder issue, but it's not expected to be a consideration when the regular season begins. The 27-year-old has a history with members of the Las Vegas organization, as GM John Spytek was in Tampa Bay's front office when Trask was drafted in the second round in 2021, and he worked as the backup to new Raiders part-owner Tom Brady. With Aidan O'Connell set to miss the beginning of the season due to a fractured wrist, Trask could provide an experienced backup to Geno Smith.
