Tampa Bay Buccaneers release quarterback Jake Browning on roster cutdown day

Summary

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released veteran quarterback Jake Browning on August 30, 2026, as the team finalized its roster. The decision leaves the Buccaneers with rookie Jalon Daniels as the primary backup to starting quarterback Baker Mayfield. Browning had been competing for a roster spot throughout the preseason, but the team opted to move forward with a thinner quarterback room. Supporters of the move point to Daniels' potential, while others expressed concern regarding his limited experience with the team’s playbook and under-center snaps. The club may still look to sign another quarterback to the practice squad as they finalize their depth chart.
