Mark Vlasic - Professional Career - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

On April 30, 1992 Vlasic signed a two-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, reuniting himself with former teammate Steve DeBerg. Vlasic began the preseason competing the third string quarterback job behind Mike Pawlawski while DeBerg and Craig Erickson competed for the starting job. At the end of preseason, however, Vlasic was among the final group cut by the Buccaneers. When DeBerg was cut from the team in early November, Vlasic was re-signed to the team in his place. He remained on the roster for the 1994 preseason, but his only preseason pass was intercepted and returned for a touchdown, and he was waived shortly afterward. This marked the end of Vlasic's professional football career.
