Gabbert flamed out as a first-round pick with the Jaguars, but he’s settled into a role as a backup quarterback since then.
He originally signed in Tampa Bay because of his connection with former head coach Bruce Arians. The quarterback spent a year in Arizona with Arians, then reunited with the coach in 2019.
Before Brady un-retired, and before Arians retired, Arians mentioned he would have considered Gabbert as Tampa Bay’s 2022 starter.
Along with Brady and Gabbert, the Buccaneers have second-year quarterback Kyle Trask on the roster, and recently re-signed Ryan Griffin.
During his Buccaneers career, Gabbert has played in 10 games, all off the bench, totaling 210 passing yards and two touchdown passes.
