For those yet to review all the preseason games and happenings of this past weekend, Raiders No. 2 quarterback Aidan O’Connell broke his throwing wrist in the final Las Vegas preseason game.
So the Raiders are hunting for a veteran backup as O’Connell will miss a couple of months.
The Bucs have a guy Vegas co-owner Tom Brady and general manager John Spytek know very well. That former Gators star and current fifth-year Tampa Bay quarterback Kyle Trask. Spytek and Brady both were on the Bucs’ payroll when Trask was drafted in 2021, and each spent years around Trask. Heck, Spytek was in Tampa when Trask was “this close” to beating out Baker Mayfield for the starting job in 2023.
The Bucs seemed to have devalued Trask and Trask looks like the kind of player who would benefit from a fresh start.
Will the Raiders inquire? And if not, why not?
Joe’s rooting for Trask. It sure would be nice to see him play a real game at some point.
