Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady conducted an on-field throwing session Tuesday, May 19, with several teammates at a local-area prep school. The session lasted about two hours, and Brady was seen walking through routes, including demonstrations of precise foot placement for making breaks. Brady was joined by WR Mike Evans, TE O.J. Howard, TE Cameron Brate, QB Blaine Gabbert, C Ryan Jensen, QB Ryan W. Griffin, WR Scott Miller and RB Dare Ogunbowale.
Footballguys view: It's going to be different to see Brady playing for a new team in 2020. The weapons are there for him to be quite productive this season. Fantasy GMs are taking him off the board at QB11 (8.09) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Blaine Gabbert's contract was finalized Friday, April 3, by the NFL. Official terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Footballguys view: Gabbert stays with the Bucs to be the backup to Tom Brady. The team is going downhill if Brady gets injured since Gabbert isn't effective when given a starting job. |

Unrestricted free-agent QB Blaine Gabbert (Buccaneers) is re-signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a one-year deal, a source said Thursday, April 2. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Footballguys view: Gabbert missed most of the 2019 season with a dislocated shoulder. He'll serve as the backup to Brady but that's a big difference in talent if Gabbert is thrust into the starting role. |

Updating an ongoing story, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Blaine Gabbert (shoulder) suffered a dislocated left shoulder Friday, Aug. 23, according to head coach Bruce Arians, but it is still unclear if Gabbert will need surgery.
Footballguys view: It's Gabbert's non-throwing shoulder so that is a bit of bad news. We should know if he needs surgery or not in the near future. Pocket passer and perennial backup Ryan Griffin could open the season as the No. 2 quarterback for the Bucs behind starter Jameis Winston. |

Free-agent QB Blaine Gabbert (Titans) signed a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Wednesday, March 27. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
Footballguys view: Gabbert returns to Florida, this time to back up Jameis Winston. He failed as a first-round pick and starter for the Jaguars, but now Gabbert can bounce around the league as a veteran backup with experience. |
Blaine Gabbert player page

Free-agent QB Blaine Gabbert (Titans) is expected to be signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the near future, according to Greg Auman of The Athletic.
Footballguys view: Gabbert can be the backup to Jameis Winston in 2019. His playing style should mesh with Bruce Arians offense and the downfield passing we expect Tampa to use early and often this season. |
Blaine Gabbert player page

Tennessee Titans QB Blaine Gabbert was released Friday, March 15.
Footballguys view: The Titans made the move for Ryan Tannehill to be their backup quarterback and that made Gabbert expendable. He's a backup caliber quarterback who might get some looks now that he's on the open market. |

Tennessee Titans QB Blaine Gabbert will start Week 17 against the Indianapolis Colts with QB Marcus Mariota (elbow) inactive.
Link to storyBlaine Gabbert player page

Tennessee Titans QB Marcus Mariota (neck, foot) was limited in practice Friday, Dec. 28 and he is listed as questionable for the Week 17 showdown with the Indianapolis Colts. If he cannot start it would be QB Blaine Gabbert under center.
Footballguys view: We expect Mariota to play, but the risk of him being limited by the injury or knocked out of the game by an aggravation makes him a desperation play even in 2QB/Superflex leagues. |

Free-agent QB Austin Davis (Titans) signed an undisclosed contract to return to the Tennessee Titans on Monday, Dec. 24.
Footballguys view: The Titans are unsure of Marcus Mariota's status so they make a move to get more depth here. Davis backed up Blaine Gabbert earlier in the season when Mariota was injured. |

Tennessee Titans FS Kenny Vaccaro (elbow) and LB Wesley Woodyard (shoulder) did not practice Thursday, Oct. 4. OT Dennis Kelly (illness) was limited. RB David Fluellen (groin) and QB Blaine Gabbert (concussion) participated fully.
Footballguys view: The Titans defense could be without two starters up the middle of the unit, but the Bills lack the personnel to take advantage of it. Jayon Brown could be a nice IDP play in Woodyard's place and Kevin Byard came alive last week when Vaccaro got hurt. |

Footballguys view: Mariota came off the bench last week to lead the Titans to the win over the Jaguars after Gabbert was knocked out of the game. We're not excited about starting him (even in start-2 QB leagues) against the Eagles on Sunday. |

Updating an ongoing story, Tennessee Titans QB Blaine Gabbert is the planned Week 3 starter, against the Jacksonville Jaguars, in place of QB Marcus Mariota (elbow), according to sources.

Tennessee Titans QB Marcus Mariota (elbow) split the starter reps with QB Blaine Gabbert in practice Wednesday, Sept. 19. Head coach Mike Vrabel said Mariota was about the same as he has been, and he will prepare both QBs to start in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Tennessee Titans QB Blaine Gabbert might get another start in Week 3 if QB Marcus Mariota (elbow) is unable to go. Head coach Mike Vrabel praised Gabbert, who started in Week 2, for how he executed the offense, earning the game ball.
Footballguys view: Mariota (elbow) has not made any progress yet from the elbow injury that kept him from playing in Week 2 according to Vrabel. His status remains the same and we'll get updates about Mariota during the week. The Titans face a tough Jaguars defense in Week 3. |
