The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have secured their backup for Tom Brady.
Tampa Bay is re-signing free-agent quarterback Blaine Gabbert to a one-year deal, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Gabbert signed with the Bucs last offseason and backed up Jameis Winston during the 2019 campaign.
The former first-round pick never lived up to his pre-draft hype, but he provides a veteran presence familiar with head coach Bruce Arians' offense behind Brady.
Gabbert started 13 games over the last four seasons - three with the Tennessee Titans in 2018, five with the Arizona Cardinals in 2017, and five with the San Francisco 49ers in 2016. He didn't see any regular-season snaps last year.
The 30-year-old owns a career 56.2 completion percentage across 56 games, with 48 career touchdowns to 47 interceptions.
