Todd Bowles On Kyle Trask: “It Was A Good Four-Year Run”
August 26th, 2025
“Hang in there, Kyle.”
Backup Bucs quarterback Kyle Trask is gone but not forgotten.
The Bucs launched Trask yesterday after expressing their strong belief in him with a new contract in March and by not signing another quarterback with experience before training camp.
At some point, that confidence eroded and veteran Teddy Bridgewater was signed three weeks ago. At the time, the Bucs brass insisted Trask was the No. 2 QB and the move was no reflection on Trask. Joe’s not sure anyone believed it, but that was the company line.
Today, head Todd Bowles sounded like a guy sure Trask’s Bucs’ future is over.
“It was a good four-year run. You know, we just feel like we got a better chance with Teddy,” Bowles said of Trask.
Asked about Trask being a practice squad candidate, Bowles wasn’t upbeat. “Things we’re still discussing. I mean, [summer No. 4 QB] Connor [Bazelak] did very well as well. We also like him, too,” Bowles said.
Joe asked Bowles if the Bucs would possibly sign an additional QB, and Bowles said that’s on the table.
Rough day for Trask and his fans.
