Panthers Officially Sign QB Kyle Trask, Cut Two

They also waived OLB Nick Hampton and WR Malick Meiga with injury designations. Both will revert to injured reserve if they clear waivers and will likely be cut later on with settlements. 

Trask, 28, was a two-year starter at Florida and was both second-team All-SEC and a Heisman finalist in his senior season.

The Buccaneers drafted Trask with pick No. 64 overall in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He finished the final year of a four-year deal worth $5,535,337 that included a $1,385,700 signing bonus.

The Buccaneers re-signed Trask to a one-year, $2.787 million deal last March but waived him with an injury designation coming out of the preseason. 

Throughout three years in Tampa Bay, Trask appeared in 7 games for the Bucs and completed four of his 11 passes for 28 yards.

During his college career, Trask had a 67.9 completion percentage, throwing for 7586 yards with 69 touchdowns and 15 interceptions over the course of three seasons and 27 games.
