The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed quarterback Connor Bazelak following the 2025 NFL Draft, bolstering their options at the position behind Baker Mayfield. With a solid college career at Bowling Green, where he led the Mid-American Conference in passing yards and completion percentage, Bazelak adds depth and potential for growth under Mayfield. The Buccaneers already have Kyle Trask as a backup, but adding Bazelak provides additional security for a franchise quarterback known for an aggressive playing style.

While the team hopes to see minimal playing time for Bazelak in the upcoming season, his development under Mayfield could pay dividends for the Buccaneers' long-term plans. As they look to solidify their quarterback situation, Bazelak represents a smart investment in future potential.
