The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed quarterback Blaine Gabbert to a one-year contract, the team announced Wednesday.
He is expected to compete with Ryan Griffin to back up Jameis Winston.
Financial terms were not announced.
A Missouri product, Gabbert was the No. 10 overall draft pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2011 and spent three seasons there. He also has played for the San Francisco 49ers (2014-16), the Arizona Cardinals (2017) and the Tennessee Titans (2018).
In Arizona, he played under new Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians.
Gabbert, 29, has appeared in 56 career games, starting all but eight of them, and has a career record of 13-35 as a starter. He has completed 842 of 1,498 passes for 9,063 yards, with 48 touchdowns and 47 interceptions.
Griffin, also 29, has spent six seasons in the NFL, shuttling between the practice squad, active roster and injured reserve list for the Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints. The Tulane product has yet to throw an NFL pass.
The Buccaneers used both Winston and Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starter last season. A free agent, Fitzpatrick signed a two-year contract with the Miami Dolphins earlier this month.
Arians has committed to Winston as the starter in 2019.
