The Tennessee ****** ans revoked Jared Stillman's credential. Depending on who you ask, this is either a franchise standing up to a loudmouth who dared them to do it, or an organization delivering a blueprint to other franchises on how to silence local critics.
Teams that travel this path usually end up with more negative coverage. You can't deliver a 6 and 28 record over two seasons, change your front office and coaching staff, and then complain about unfavorable attention. Winning changes the local conversation.
I went through this in St. Louis with the Rams and in the Bay Area with the Raiders. Kevin Demoff, Amy Trask and Marc Badain were all fantastic. All knew their results shaped the local coverage. Win games and people are happy. Lose games and fire people, and criticisms follow. It's that simple.
Stillman is a longtime Nashville radio host. He broadcasts now on YouTube, and recently went viral after a testy exchange with quarterback Cam Ward. On his show the next day, he said the ****** ans wouldn't be foolish enough to pull his credential over it. He felt the backlash would be brutal and make them look like the softest organization in the NFL.
A day later, they did it anyway.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took a gamble by selecting in-state quarterback sensation Kyle Trask in the 2021 NFL Draft. He was drafted with the hope he could eventually be the franchise quarterback after Tom Brady retired, but rather, he would never earn the chance to start a game.
He would leave the team by not being re-signed in 2025, and he would be signed to the Atlanta Falcons practice squad. He would hit free agency again, and now he is once again staying in the NFC South.
On Saturday, Kyle Trask signed with the Carolina Panthers in the middle of their training camp.
Trask reunites with his former playcaller with the Bucs, who is now the Panthers' head coach, Dave Canales. He will backup Bryce Young following the injury to Hall of Fame game hero, Haynes King.

Carolina signed former Florida quarterback Kyle Trask on Sunday after a hamstring injury is expected to sideline rookie Haynes King for an extended period of time. The ex-Gator joins Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett as the Panthers' top options under center entering Week 2 of the preseason.
The 2020 NCAA passing touchdowns leader spent 2025 on the Atlanta Falcons practice squad after being released by Tampa Bay in August of last year. The Buccaneers made Trask the 64th overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft after his record-breaking senior campaign in Gainesville helped the Gators reach the SEC championship game.
While at UF, Trask went from unheralded backup to Heisman finalist in a season that saw him toss 43 touchdowns, breaking the program's single-season mark set by Danny Wuerffel in 1996.
The 6-foot-4-inch, 236-pound Manvel, Texas, native has failed to translate his magical 2020 performance into opportunities at the next level. As a professional, Trask has appeared in just seven regular-season games and completed 4-of-11 passes for 28 yards. The fact that Trask continues to command attention despite last taking a snap in December 2024 speaks to how much teams value his size, arm talent, and upside.
After an underwhelming three seasons, Trask will look to revive his career and prove that he can be a serviceable NFL backup. King is considered week-to-week and sustained the injury in Carolina's preseason win over Arizona.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers signed Kyle Trask as a third quarterback on Sunday with Hall of Fame game hero Haynes King expected to miss time with a hamstring injury.
Trask gives the Panthers a third QB behind starter Bryce Young and backup Kenny Pickett.
Trask has familiarity with Panthers offensive coordinator Brad Idzik, having spent the last three seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has limited game experience, with only 11 career pass attempts during his career.
Trask could see playing time on Saturday when the Panthers visit the Buffalo Bills.
King, an undrafted rookie out of Georgia Tech, ran in from the 5 on the final play to give the Panthers a dramatic 33-30 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night in Canton, Ohio, to kick off the NFL preseason. The Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year last season, King was 21 of 34 for 180 yards and two touchdowns. He ran for 39 yards and the winning score.

Even with 90 spots to work with, NFL rosters can feel the domino effect of summertime injuries.
That's certainly been the case for the Carolina Panthers, whose 2026 training camp has felt like a war of attrition. On top of the starters who were already sidelined going into workouts, including offensive tackles Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton and defensive linemen Tershawn Wharton and Bobby Brown III, the team has now lost rookie wide receiver Chris Brazzell II and second-year outside linebacker Nic Scourton to season-ending knee injuries.
Head coach Dave Canales explained on Friday night, following Fan Fest, that those setbacks have held back the Panthers from adding a fourth quarterback—namely, Kyle Trask.
"Yeah, just general needs for our roster right now," stated Canales, who later mentioned the offensive line and tight end room as areas that are currently experiencing stress. "We just didn't really feel like we had the luxury. With a couple of positions, we have some guys down."
Trask, a second-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2021, was brought into Charlotte for a workout on Wednesday. The 28-year-old crossed paths with Canales back in 2023, when Canales served as Tampa Bay's offensive coordinator.

Well, it looks like plans at the quarterback position may have changed for the Carolina Panthers.
According to ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Panthers are bringing in free-agent quarterback Kyle Trask for a workout on Wednesday.
Following the retirement of third-stringer Will Grier, Carolina has gone through the first handful of training camp practices with three quarterbacks. Last Wednesday, president of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan was asked if he was looking to add back a fourth for the summer.
"No plans right now to bring a fourth guy on," Morgan told reporters. "Obviously, wish Will and his family the best. In terms of his career, just playing as long as he did, and just wish him the best moving forward."
Trask, a second-round pick out of the University of Florida in 2021, has spent each of his five NFL seasons in the NFC South. The first four (2021 to 2024) came with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he crossed paths with Panthers head coach Dave Canales in 2023. The 28-year-old then signed with the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad midway through 2025.
