On Thursday, the Bucs announced that they have re-signed backup quarterback Ryan Griffin. The move gives the team three quarterbacks on the roster in Tom Brady, Kyle Trask and Griffin. Last year’s No. 2 quarterback, Blaine Gabbert, remains un-signed at this time.

Griffin is already the longest-tenured quarterback in franchise history after playing his seventh season with the team last year. Now the 32-year old will try to extend the streak as he vies for his eighth season on the roster. Griffin spent most of last season on the practice squad, failing to dress for a single game. In his career, the backup has thrown just four passes, completing two for 18 yards.

The Bucs are likely to give Trask every opportunity to win the No. 2 job this offseason. Griffin shouldn’t present much of a challenge, as the veteran struggled mightily in preseason action last season. If Gabbert is re-signed, there could be real competition between he and Trask. But the Bucs may just want Trask to assume the responsibility, letting Gabbert chase a chance at playing time elsewhere. Either way, don’t expect Griffin to be a factor unless the Bucs face a rash of injuries at the position.
