Browning struggled when thrust into Cincinnati's starting lineup in 2025, totaling 757 passing yards with a 6:8 TD:INT across four games before the Bengals traded for Joe Flacco. While Browning proved overmatched as an extended starter, he still profiles as a capable No. 2 option and will fill that role behind Baker Mayfield in Tampa Bay during the 2026 season. Across his career, Browning has appeared in 17 games and made 10 starts, posting a 4-6 record in those opportunities. His experience and familiarity with backup duties give the Buccaneers a steady insurance option if needed.
