Veteran quarterback Kyle Trask is out in Carolina.
The Panthers cut Trask today, making him a free agent.
The move means the Panthers are set to go into 2026 with Bryce Young as the starter and Kenny Pickett as the backup. Haynes King, the undrafted rookie quarterback who played well in the preseason, would seem likely to go on waivers but return to the Panthers’ practice squad if he clears waivers.
Trask was a 2021 second-round pick of the Buccaneers who played only very sparingly in Tampa before getting cut at the end of the preseason in 2025. He was briefly on the Falcons’ practice squad last year, and now he’ll hope some team is interested in adding him to the practice squad again this year.
