Former Florida QB Kyle Trask lands NFL minicamp invite, per report
Published:
Former Florida quarterback Kyle Trask appears to be getting another shot to stick in the NFL.
The 28-year-old Trask, who played for the Gators from 2016-20 before being drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021, is among the players who’ve been invited to the New Orleans Saints’ rookie minicamp this weekend. Nick Underhill, who covers the Saints for New Orleans.Football, reported on Wednesday afternoon that Trask and fellow veteran QB Easton Stick have been invited to the minicamp as they seek NFL employment in 2026 and as the Saints seek some depth at the position this season.
With Tyler Shough, Zach Wilson and former Oklahoma and South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler slated as the Saints’ top 3 signal-callers heading into organized team activities, Trask will have the opportunity to compete for the No. 4 QB spot on the New Orleans depth chart.
Trask was a second-round draft pick of the Buccaneers but played sparingly during his 4 seasons in Tampa Bay. He saw action in a combined 7 games with the Bucs, starting none of them.
After being released by the Buccaneers last summer, Trask latched on with the Atlanta Falcons last fall. He signed with the Falcons in November, spending time on the team’s practice squad.
Trask was a second-team All-SEC selection at Florida during his final season in Gainesville in 2020, and now he’s reportedly getting another shot to extend his NFL career.
Trask will try to nail down a spot with the Saints for the 2026 season, as New Orleans battles its NFC South rivals this fall for a shot at the division title. Here is what the Kalshi market is currently saying about the odds for the Saints to surprise people and capture the NFC South crown in 2026:
