Jake Browning released as Buccaneers settle on backup QB

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are releasing QB Jake Browning, according to Adam Schefter. The move clears the path for undrafted free agent QB Jalon Daniels to back up starter Baker Mayfield.

RapSheet reported that Daniels impressed throughout camp, with the Buccaneers viewing him as a true find at the position.

What this means for your roster

Browning is a free agent and worth monitoring if he lands somewhere with a thinner depth chart. Daniels is a handcuff only in the loosest sense, but in deeper formats he is worth a stash as Tampa's QB2. Baker Mayfield's fantasy value is unchanged.
