Will The Raiders Call For Kyle Trask?
August 25th, 2025
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.

Take a 7th round pick!
August 25th, 2025 at 2:24 pm
LOL. There are a couple people here that would value Trask as 2 first rounders for a trade. Cough… Rod…. Cough
August 25th, 2025 at 2:25 pm
If they dont it’ll be a telling sign
August 25th, 2025 at 2:25 pm
I was thinking the same thing. Somehow mix up a trade with Raiders involving Trask for Maxx Crosby.

Trask Mob is worse than the Glennon Mob lol

Kyle Trask was drafted to study, learn from a pure pocket passer (Tom Brady). But when Brady retired, they decided to go with Baker Mayfield as their starting QB. It don’t make sense to keep a pure pocket passer, as your backup to a mobile ( Chain moving) QB. But l truly believe Trask is good , young, pocket passer. Who can start in this ( Pass Happy) league). With this said, l think the Bucs keep Kyle Trask, I’m not sure if they will keep 3 QB.
I believe they will keep Trask, not sure about Bridgewater
August 25th, 2025 at 2:34 pm
Take whatever we can get. If has to play because Bake gets hurt- we are in Big Trouble!!
August 25th, 2025 at 2:35 pm
Agree with you lake. People all ready to throw him under the bus after one bad preseason game between a couple or decent ones. I’m still not convinced Bridgewater was necessarily his replacement. They needed more qbs in camp, tjey liked the guy, he was just on his couch, so why not. If they keep 2 I’m not 100% sure who gets the axe.
August 25th, 2025 at 2:41 pm
Am I missing something? Did the Bucs say they would cut Trask or is this just speculation?
August 25th, 2025 at 2:45 pm
Pete Carroll said: “All possibilities are available right now. I mean, wherever they come from, and we’re looking everywhere to see if we can find the best guy that fits us. So if you don’t mind, I’m not going to really lay out exactly what we’re looking for here, so I don’t want to show our hand, but I want somebody who’s played. That’s what’s important, a guy that’s had game experience is really huge to me.”
So no Trask is NOT going to the Raiders, but Bridgewater could.
August 25th, 2025 at 2:46 pm
The two village idiots Bowles and Licht have screwed up the Trask situation so badly it’s a freakin’ embarrassment to this franchise. Licht dropped a 2nd round pick and a second contact. Bowles record of developing young QB’s is somewhere below zero and pathetic.
August 25th, 2025 at 2:46 pm
No one is calling for Trask. Please.
August 25th, 2025 at 2:48 pm
I seriously, do not understand all of the Trask hate, at all. I totally, understand the level of hate for these “Trask-Lovers” (they are no different to me than the “Baker-Bois” – all completely insanely biased)… But, NOT for the ‘player’ himself. He has done NOTHING wrong whatsoever, and seemingly, has been a GREAT teammate. I don’t get it. Some people are just not capable of separating the two, I guess.
August 25th, 2025 at 2:49 pm
There’s only 28 yards between Trask and myself. I better keep my phone close… Lol
August 25th, 2025 at 2:50 pm
lol if they wanted trask they could have gotten him on the cheap when he was a free agent, or even before if they wanted to trade for him.
plus, they literally said that they were looking for an experienced veteran qb and trask ain’t it.

Why is every post I make being moderated… Totally ridiculous

San Francisco got a 4th round pick for Trey Lance, who had lots of game film, all of it horrible. I think that’s a pretty good benchmark, especially given the Raiders are in a more desperate situation than Dallas was at that time.
August 25th, 2025 at 2:54 pm
Trask, Palmer and Watts for Tyree Wilson. Also swap 6th round pics in ’26 if it will get Spytech to agree.
August 25th, 2025 at 2:57 pm
If Trask goes to the Raiders, relax Traskies, it is still for a backup role.

Probably depends on what Brady thought of him.
Personally, I think he should be the back up instead of Teddy, but I will gladly take Teddy as back up if they can get any type of draft pick for Trask.
August 25th, 2025 at 3:06 pm
Unless Licht is drafting an OL or DB… we gotta get him trading out of round 2. Trask, Aguayo, Spence … all terrible picks. Trask and Aguayo are almost unforgivable. Good thing he has been exceptional aside from a few bad moves.
I was of the opinion that Trask would be fine if needed but the Bridgewater signing makes me think we need to move on. Teddy #2 and away we go.
August 25th, 2025 at 3:06 pm
Joe how the hell do you think a QB is coming back from a broken wrist in only 60 days#?%!?!!!!!
August 25th, 2025 at 3:08 pm
Trask for an ILB?
August 25th, 2025 at 3:21 pm
Joes – you have a tendency to passive aggressively call out what seems to be a pattern of hypocrisy or mistruth when it comes to the Bucs – are other teams this full of spit when it comes to dealing with fans or media?

Time to get rid of the trash! Trade him for a ham sandwich!
August 25th, 2025 at 3:36 pm
we must get a draft pick and a player, we have put alot of time into this player and need to be appropriately compensated
August 25th, 2025 at 3:47 pm
Couldn’t trade him for wet cheeto dust. He’s done nothing in his time here with the Bucs. You would think that he would have forced them to put him on the field at least in garbage time. His practice tape must be brutal. Of Brady and Spytek have seen him so they won’t be calling.
August 25th, 2025 at 3:51 pm
I really love Trask really want the kid to succeed. I think Bucs would have leaned into Trask had Baker not come here. Unfortunately I think it’s the case of right place wrong time. I would love for him to stick around but he knows he needs to prioritize his career, and his opportunity to start somewhere. And if he does that’s great, Rooting for the kid!
August 25th, 2025 at 3:51 pm
Trask is going to be the backup and Bridgewater is going to the practice squad

Hunters Crack Pipe says…”San Francisco got a 4th round pick for Trey Lance, who had lots of game film, all of it horrible. I think that’s a pretty good benchmark, especially given the Raiders are in a more desperate situation than Dallas was at that time.”
Before that trade Lance started four games for San Francisco with a 2W/2L record. Kyle trask has a NFL record of 0W/0L. He is an unknown NFL commodity. Know one knows if he is even a capable backup. Although the Buc’s seem to think he might be.
August 25th, 2025 at 4:17 pm
Trask was available when Teddy B was sick and had a decent showing. He’s still not starting caliber but has some experience.
Teddy B’s preseason week 2 performance showed that he can move this team i. This offense. Still has something in the tank and a lot of experience.
Still think if you were to put both Kyle & Teddy B on the practice squad, Teddy B would be the target for most NFL teams looking for a backup, just based on his experience and what he showed.
I like Kyle, but I wish him the best. If he sees starting action, it will be as an emergency/short term guy. Same as Teddy B, but there’s no hesitancy in Teddy B, he can push the ball down the field better than Kyle. Grizz has familiarity with him, and he seems to fit this offense.
Besides, Kyle would not do so well behind the current o-line without Tristan covering his blindside.
August 25th, 2025 at 4:23 pm
If either of them leaves the team, it will probably be Teddy to the raiders. They put him in the first half of that second game with the starters and he looked pretty good
August 25th, 2025 at 4:31 pm
My suspicion is the Raiders may well inquire and offer at most a fourth round pick next year — or third round with exchange of another pick. Fingers crossed for Trask — he likely won’t find opportunity in Tampa without injurie to Mayfield and Bridgewater .
August 25th, 2025 at 4:33 pm
Going into the season without a backup seems risky for a team looking to make a SB run. I don’t see how you can rely on Bridgewater for the long haul. He is frail and probably won’t hold up if he has to play a game or two.

BayouBullet is a reference to Doug Williams…ever heard of him…smh
August 25th, 2025 at 4:36 pm
Trade trask to any team for a ILB that can play some decent football.
August 25th, 2025 at 4:42 pm
Trask hasn’t gotten any better in 4 years, trade him if you can!
August 25th, 2025 at 5:17 pm
rich gannon spent 4 years on the bench, finally winning the job midseason his 5 th year and even then had a time finding a home.
tommy maddox had a similar background and had to quit a couple of years after 4 years of trying, and worked his way from minor league football.
i believe in trask, if the bucs cant make it work, its on him to find a home. easier said than done.

I did not know that. And my apologies… I did not see your Gravatar when I made that comment. 🍻
August 25th, 2025 at 5:20 pm
I’d rather keep 3 QBs. I think all of them could win in a pinch, especially with the team we’ve got. If QB is the most important position we’d be lucky to have 3 QBs that can actually give us a chance.
August 25th, 2025 at 5:33 pm
Yeah…let’s keep Bridgwater and see how many receivers he can put in the hospital. That’s better than having a Gator on the team!
August 25th, 2025 at 5:53 pm
Dang Kyle, happy trails my boy
August 25th, 2025 at 5:56 pm
Trask just got released
August 25th, 2025 at 5:59 pm

August 25th, 2025 at 6:01 pm
BYE BYE BYE…finally. Terrible pick and signing by Licht
August 25th, 2025 at 6:02 pm
Ginger QBs don’t do well here.
August 25th, 2025 at 6:06 pm
Wow these comments are going to be popcorn worthy tonight. I wish Trask well.
August 25th, 2025 at 6:26 pm
Sometimes all someone needs is a little change of scenery. Hopefully he gets a chance to play somewhere else
August 25th, 2025 at 6:38 pm
The Bucs didn’t trust Trask to be their backup. I sure they tried to trade up with no takers. Bridgewater made one bad pass that got JM hurt be after that he was pretty accurate. Trask hasn’t show that he is getting better if anything he is getting worse. I am a Gator fan and liked Trask I thought he would be great. However it hasn’t worked out for him here. Maybe a new team with a fresh start will give him a chance to show how good he can be.
August 25th, 2025 at 6:47 pm
Joe you nailed it !! I believe the Raiders will call Trask to be their backup QB !!
Go Bucs 2025 !!
August 25th, 2025 at 6:55 pm
Trask rhymes with trash……bye Felicia what a waste of time and money. This garbage pail didn’t learn anything playing with Brady and Mayfield
August 25th, 2025 at 6:58 pm
Gator fans trying to make the rest of us believe that Trask is good is like me thinking that McDonald’s food is healthy for me. No team in their right mind will pick up that fraud
August 25th, 2025 at 9:45 pm
apparently every other team in the nfl is in on some kind of conspiracy to keep kyle trask down.
August 25th, 2025 at 10:22 pm
I really hope he goes to the Raiders.
August 25th, 2025 at 11:03 pm
the raiders went with pickett from the browns instead
August 25th, 2025 at 11:11 pm
NOBODY is going to pick up Trask other than the Bucs on the practice squad, perhaps. He has zero tape and there are already far better QB options released by other teams. Dude throws lollypops – works in college where receivers often have nobody within ten yards of them, but not the NFL.
August 26th, 2025 at 3:18 am
Raiders gave up a 6th rounder for Pickett from Cleveland. So, Trask would be the third string qb at best in Vegas.
August 26th, 2025 at 10:17 am
From high school, to college (Florida and Pro (Buccaneers), all Trask has ever done on the field is WIN! He has always sterted as the backup but won when he got on the field. Does that sound like someone else we all know… Tom Brady! Brady was a skinny, pocket-passing kid who somehow became the GOAT. There is a reason most scrambling, run-first NFL QBs bite the dust in the end. They are “flashy” and exciting but somehow never get you to the promised land (Super Bowl). Trasks accuracy, smarts and “touch” when needed as a passer are like Brady’s…. Whoever lands Trask WINS… After all is said Brady wasn’t a scrambler but New England and Bucs fans always enjoyed WINNING and getting to the promised land.
