The Tampa Bay Buccaneers continued with their roster cuts ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, this time at the quarterback position.
After a strong preseason, the expectation was that Kyle Trask would at least begin the season as the backup behind Baker Mayfield.
After all, Trask had the edge in familiarity as he entered his fifth season with the team since being drafted in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, while Bridgewater came out of retirement to sign with the team only a few weeks ago.
Bridgewater appeared in only one preseason game, and while he did toss two impressive touchdowns, he completed only 6-of-11 passes, and had a small sample size in a Bucs uniform for the coaching staff to evaluate.
