SR predicted that Bridgewater would be put on the practice squad initially so his contract wouldn't be guaranteed as a vested veteran. That didn't happen, which tells you they really like Bridgewater from way back. The minute he was signed the writing was on the wall for Trask. Well, the writing was on the wall when they brought him back for a minimal one year contract.Bowles has spoken highly of Teddy B's intelligence when making pre snap reads and adjusting against defenses. Grizzard feels highly of Teddy B too.
During the offseason, a number of posters suggested the Bucs might find a good veteran QB to be #2. Turns out they found one and he happened to be on a team with the OC previously.

as often is the case:
the minute Baker was signed, most knew it was his job to utterly fumble and lose. No real competition despite coach and GM speak.
very similar, the minute Teddy was signed, it was his job to lose. Even Licht's GM speak was very, "good fucking luck Kyle"
and for my final Kyle Trask prediction, drum roll please, he is out of the NFL by this time next year. I think he may be able to latch onto a team during this season, practice squad most likely but he will not throw a pass in an NFL game this year. He may even be in a training camp in 2026 but ultimately is retired by next September.
i mean seriously what NFL team out there would have this guy as their #2?
Pro Football network did a ranking back in mid August and Trask came it at #32 out of 32; Just ahead of him were guys like Mitchell Trubisky, Tyson Bagent, Mason Rudolf, Davis Mills, and Nick Mullens. Hardly anyone you'd want starting on your team but compare their resumes to Trask and it's easy to see that certain Buc Fans over-rated the shit out of Trask
Trask doesn't have as much stigma as a Matt Jones for example. So Trask can do more in a new setting if he motivates himself. Sam Darnold, Kyle Allen, etc they tend to stick around and they have more warts than Trask. The key for Trask is to show he has mastery of an NFL huddle and offense.
I wonder when Trask gets his settlement from his Shoulder Injury when and if he goes to the Panthers or Jags? I also wonder how serious his shoulder injury really was at this point to know even if he is going to stay. I think he's 27 and still may have a chance in the league but not sure because of Teams playing with the cards close to their chest.

He just needs to be something he's not! Ez
If anyone picks up a backup who’s been in the league this long, with limited actual game experience, it’s more likely a divisional rival looking for a peak at Grizz’s tweaks, on El Serpiente’s tweaks on McVay’s offense.I wonder when Trask gets his settlement from his Shoulder Injury when and if he goes to the Panthers or Jags?

If it were me clearing Kyle from the injury - I’d do it after the Atlanta game.
