With four quarterbacks on the roster, the Buccaneers have quite the crowded room with the reigning Super Bowl MVP firmly entrenched as the starter come Week One. So, how many signal-callers will the Bucs actually carry?
The signing of Blaine Gabbert on Wednesday has many assuming that he was brought back to be Tom Brady’s primary backup. It makes sense considering Gabbert is a veteran of 10 NFL seasons and the two others on the roster have four total pass attempts in the NFL. Not to mention, the role of Brady’s backup isn’t necessarily one that warrants a ton of in-game action. Brady has only missed 15 games in his career due to injury and those all came during the 2008 season when he tore his ACL and MCL in the first week of the year.
With Brady as the starter and Gabbert as the backup, the leaves, presumably, one spot for Ryan Griffin or newly drafted Kyle Trask.

Very rarely do teams carry four quarterbacks at the same time on the 53-man roster. In fact, a number of teams nowadays only have two. During Brady’s rookie season, he was the fourth-string quarterback behind a trio of veterans that included former first overall pick, Drew Bledsoe. Now, the 2021 Bucs and 2000 Patriots have two very different circumstances so it seems like the obvious answer is that Griffin would be the odd man out when it comes down to roster cuts.
Griffin has spent parts of several seasons with the Buccaneers organization after coming into the league in 2013. However, much of that time has been on practice squads and on I.R. so he has just four career pass attempts to his name and they all came in 2019 with the Buccaneers. Trask, of course, was drafted with hopes of him being able to take over for Brady when/if he retires after his contract expires after the 2022 season. Stating the obvious, it wouldn’t make sense for the Bucs to move on from Trask before his rookie season.
Assuming health, expect the Buccaneers quarterback room to include Brady, Gabbert, and Trask for the start of the 2021 season.
