Kyle Trask talked at his locker tonight.
Does Kyle Trask have a Buccaneers future? Nobody in charge of the team seems to want to say, “_Damn right he does. Kyle’s our guy._“
Trask seemed to be his usual chill self after the Bucs-Bills preseason game tonight with a swarm of media types around his locker.
Joe asked Trask if he was concerned about what’s next in his future. The Bucs will cut their roster from 90 to 53 players by Tuesday afternoon and Trask’s job isn’t secure. “No, I trust God with everything I do and control what I can do,” Trask said.
The fifth-year quarterback later told another repoerter he had no thoughts of “outside information” tonight. He said off-field noise can make you play “a lot slower.”
Asked how his 2025 preseason went, Trask said he thought he had a solid Week 1 and then needed to clean up a bunch of things after the Week 2 game in Pittsburgh.
That progress was made, Trask said, and he called the past week a big learning experience, “a lot of lessons.”
Tonight, Trask said his performance was”really solid.” His final stat line was 13-for-17 for 93 yards and a touchdown.
The Joe typing here thinks Trask has no shot at being the Bucs’ No. 2 quarterback over the majority of this season. That job will go to Teddy Bridgewater, but it’s unclear if the Bucs will keep Trask as a No. 3 QB. Nobody’s talking publicly at One Buc Palace, and Bridgewater’s salary has been a tightly kept secret.
Joe’s hoping Trask sticks, but it sure would be interesting to see whether he clears waivers, a must in order to land on the practice squad.
