Panthers cut backup QB Kyle Trask
Veteran quarterback Kyle Trask is out in Carolina.
The Carolina Panthers have made a significant roster decision by cutting backup quarterback Kyle Trask, making him a free agent. This move indicates that the team will rely on starting quarterback Bryce Young and backup Kenny Pickett for the 2026 season. Trask, an undrafted rookie from 2021, had a limited playing career in Tampa before being cut at the end of the 2025 preseason.
He briefly appeared on the Falcons' practice squad last year but now seeks opportunities to return to a team's practice squad. Haynes King, the undrafted rookie who impressed in the preseason, is likely to be claimed on waivers and potentially return to the Panthers' practice squad if cleared.
