Todd 3rd and 28 Bowles is the reason Evans left. I guarantee it.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:30 pm
Sorry, but Mike’s going to an NFC rival. Screw him.
That’s basically what he just said to us!!!!
March 9th, 2026 at 3:30 pm
Here ya’ll go
March 9th, 2026 at 3:30 pm
What about 3 years for 60 million not worth it for a 33 year old receiver on a team that has way more needs to be competitive?
March 9th, 2026 at 3:30 pm
voted glazer. they arent in win mode
March 9th, 2026 at 3:30 pm
It’s 100% on that piece of choke artist bum Baker Mayfield. Mike knows that garbage shouldn’t be starting, is getting out of town before his full collapse.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:32 pm
When we are watching Mike in the playoffs next year we can multitask by looking over the resumes of the new HC
I know it wasn’t the money, it was the plan he has no faith in any longer…just like most of us
March 9th, 2026 at 3:32 pm
3-28
March 9th, 2026 at 3:32 pm
Blame is the wrong word. “Responsibility” is more like it. And in the end, it was no one’s decision but Mike’s.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:32 pm
It’s on Todd 3rd and 28 Bowles, but he wasn’t going to fire himself. Someone chose Bowles over Evans.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:33 pm
Love Mike and everything he means to this team. When we re-signed Godwin and then drafted Egbuka last year it made this inevitable. We need defensive help and it would have been malpractice to pay Evans what he rightly deserves when we already have a stacked fleet of receivers. Best of luck to 13… now go sign a pass rusher.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:33 pm
Blame rests with Glazers for retaining Bowles. Indefensible. And led directly to Evans leaving.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:33 pm
Oh what a surprise this is also Bowles’ fault lmao
March 9th, 2026 at 3:34 pm
It’s money!!! We were paying for another reciver. Hard decisions in business, but the right decision
March 9th, 2026 at 3:34 pm
So there is a guarantee that sf makes the playoffs? Is this the same guarantee that the lions/ kc/baltimore/ had this last year?
March 9th, 2026 at 3:34 pm
Turd Bowels is a lousy HC\DC.
Anyone with half a brain can see that.
Only Licht and the Glazer kids love the culture of failure.
2026 is a dumpster fire already.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:35 pm
Bowles for being a bad coach. Licht for not firing him 2 years ago and this year. Glazers for not forcing Licht to do it.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:36 pm
How can you vote Todd and not the Glazerhouses. They are the damn fools who kept this sorry coach.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:38 pm
Mike, do us all a favor! State publicly you wouldn’t play for Bowles!
Also, will you reimburse me for your Fat Head and jersey I bought for my 20-year old son who’s crying right now?
March 9th, 2026 at 3:39 pm
49ers offered a longer deal is my guess. Can’t fault anyone.
I actually love these FA moves. They are focusing on offense mostly (except for the ILB), which means they want to address defense in the draft.
Love it!
March 9th, 2026 at 3:39 pm
Voted Bowles, but Glazers actually deserve it the most for letting it get to this. First mistake was not making the switch to Coen, then they compound it with the decision this off-season. Made it an easy decision for Mike.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:39 pm
This was 100% Mike’s decision. That being said, I blame the Glazers for keeping Bowles around for another season.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:40 pm
Good for Mike Evans
He got paid
Still a Bucs legend, I’m happy for him. He deserves a fresh start
He can always come back to Tampa and be a legend.
Who cares he leaves after 12 years… he gave this franchise 12 years!
Bucs don’t wanna win anyway
We want to DRAFT
Now it’s time for Lavonte David to retire
That way we can finally MOVE ON and build something NEW
PLAYERS MOVE ON TO NEW TEAMS ALL THE TIME , THIS ISNT A BIG DEAL
MIKE EVANS IS LITERALLY IN YEAR 13
No more Mike Evans and Lavonte David to lean on is a good thing
Get some new players !! it’s that simple
March 9th, 2026 at 3:40 pm
All of you whiners about Bowles…get over it! We have him for the next year!
If he fails, he’s history.
If he has success, he retires.
Let’s just enjoy!
March 9th, 2026 at 3:40 pm
The defense….3rd and 28
March 9th, 2026 at 3:41 pm
Jason Licht doesn’t have enough votes. No matter what we do this off season, we aren’t in a better position to win it all than the 49ers.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:42 pm
Simple: 3rd and 28
March 9th, 2026 at 3:43 pm
If you place blame it’s 100% team Glazer bc they kept Tood Bowles. Why would Mike want to stay? Probably took less money to play for a better organization, better GM, certainly a MUCH better head coach and a much better chance to play meaningful football next season. Or come back to the Titanic? Hmmm.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:43 pm
LETS NOT LET THIS DISTRACT US FROM THE REAL ISSUE
ITS NFL FREE AGENCY AND I DONT SEE ANYBODY SIGNING WITH THE BUCS IMPROVING THIS TEAM
MIKE EVANS GONE COOL…
WHERE IS THE PASS RUSH
March 9th, 2026 at 3:45 pm
Shanahan + Lynch > Bowles + Licht
By a country mile.
Mike chose wisely.
He’s in much better hands now.
The rebuild has started, no matter the propaganda to the contrary.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:47 pm
Wow Joe, talk about a ‘survey question’ that’s skewed to provide the answer you want.
How about an option in there like ‘Mike made HIS choice’.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:48 pm
The Glazers decided to keep Todd..That does not show a commitment to winning. Looks like the. Bucs will go cheap again while Man U gets the attention
March 9th, 2026 at 3:48 pm
It’s the Glazers! They brought back Bowles. The Buc (hah) stops with them. They are not serious about winning. This season is going to be brutal. The only way I can make sense of any of this is they know the 2027 Draft is loaded at QB and they are going to do a hard reset then (Coach, GM(?), QB, etc.)
March 9th, 2026 at 3:49 pm
Bucs weren’t winning anything with or without Evans. Excited to watch him in that shanahan offense.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:50 pm
Really, the deal isn’t final. bucs could swoop in and make another offer.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:51 pm
Mike made the choice. Glazers kept Bowles. Bowles failed as HC. JL destroying the roster with bad drafting and cap moves. Where was All of the above?
March 9th, 2026 at 3:52 pm
1000% Bowles. He chose Shanahan a winner over Bowles the definition of mediocrity.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:52 pm
Mike was clearly upset at the end of games last season, when our wretched defense was giving away games.
That’s on Bowles and Licht- who both seem to undervalue edge rushers.
We only have 3 edge/Dlinemen on the team, that a good enough to be on an NFL roster.
Gaines and Nelson are ok backups. Vita Vea is a very good NT.
The rest of our edge/dline rank from bad to trash.
That is a huge failure by Bowles and Licht.
And I believe it cost us Mike Evans. Good players abandon bad teams.
And our defense is horrible
March 9th, 2026 at 3:55 pm
We have too many player making 20+ million and we need defense. It’s as easy as that.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:55 pm
The Bucs are a better team than the 49ers. We just beat them.
Now we better sign Hendrickson or a lot of other really good players. I mean, if this got screwed up this monumentally, it had better be worth it.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:56 pm
This was the worst move the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization has ever made to let a legend like Mike Evans go. If I was a season ticket holder, which I’m not, I wouldn’t be anymore. I can see the 49ers in the Super Bowl next year, & Tampa having a top 5 pick. The Bucs may be awful for years to come. Financially, it may seem sound, but the Glazers will be sorry for not giving Mike whatever it took to make him a Buc for his whole career. My interest in this team has fallen greatly by this move. Sad day. So many fans were upset about bringing back Bowles, but this is only sets them back even more. I can see it all getting blown up after next season.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:56 pm
Mike- how may superbowls had Shanny one? He constantly chokes
March 9th, 2026 at 3:56 pm
Mike Evans leaving the Buccaneers is 100% on the Glazers he made this decision to go somewhere else the moment he found out they were not firing Todd Bowles. It really sucks to see him leave, but I understand go play for a good proven head coach why would he ever want to stay knowing that with this head coach they will be lucky to win as many games next year as they did this past season. Good luck Mike
March 9th, 2026 at 3:56 pm
Blame ?
Agree with @Defense Rules
Always with the hero/villain narrative.
March 9th, 2026 at 3:58 pm
3rd and 28!!
March 9th, 2026 at 3:59 pm
mike didnt want to go out a loser
March 9th, 2026 at 3:59 pm
Mike signed the contract, so regardless of what prompted him to make the choice it was still HIS choice. I hold no ill will towards him. He’s nearing the end of his playing days, and he wants to put himself in the best chance at another ring (on top of the ego stroke he likely got from having a quality team offer him a 3 year deal showing they believe he has a lot left to offer). The Bucs are most likely a 6, 7, or 8 win team next year, and a guy still chasing another SB ring and the HoF is wise to make moves that increase his chances at both goals.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:00 pm
Badbucs Says:
“JL destroying the roster with bad drafting and cap moves.”
Not even true. He DID draft a replacement last year.
Let’s consider this year too…Re-signed Otton, so TE is no longer a need. Signed a RB who is as good as White but younger. Signed a veteran ILB.
That’s pretty freaking good.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:00 pm
Nobody is to blame. Grow up. Its the nature of the beast.
Evans made a choice. Wish him well.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:00 pm
I kind of think Tom Brady, actually. I think he put the thought in mike’s head that it’s fun to finish a great career somewhere else. What goes around comes around I guess
March 9th, 2026 at 4:01 pm
I’m not making a win prediction, but I do think it is too early to predict right now. So much more can happen.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:01 pm
we were prolly offering mike the lavonte style year to year deal…
and he was arguing to give him 2 years…
so the niners slide in and give 3…and mike is otti like john gotti
March 9th, 2026 at 4:02 pm
Todd and Jason have some explaining to do. Shameful.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:03 pm
It’s because of Todd Bowles, but ultimately it’s on Team Glazer for not firing Todd Bowles when the season ended, especially after blowing that Thursday Night home game vs Atlanta. Had they done that and hired an offensive-minded head coach, Evans probably would have stayed. Hate seeing him put on any uniform other than the Bucs, but I can’t blame him for accepting more money and not accepting mediocrity.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:04 pm
Wonder what Otton and the other new signees think now that Mike walked out the door?
Maybe – oh crap – my bad.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:05 pm
Whatever money we “saved” better damn we’ll be spent on top FA DLinemen.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:08 pm
Only guy responsible is the guy that CHOSE to leave. That would be ME13. You ladies are so quick to blame Bowles for 3rd and 28….but don’t have enough football smarts to ever blame the players. Typical dumb Bucs fans.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:10 pm
No brainer. Mr. 3rd and 28.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:12 pm
3rd and 28 4th and 14. Guess he had enough of Bowles and his garbage defense. Also having to try backing into the playoffs hoping another team screws up the final week to get in.
There is no participation trophies for winning the NFCS.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:12 pm
It is totally on the Glazers because it was their decision to keep Bowles as Coach. If they had a better decision at the head coach, giving them a better plan for the next two years while they still have a lot of pieces available that can win a Super Bowl… He would have stayed
March 9th, 2026 at 4:14 pm
Tom Brady
March 9th, 2026 at 4:14 pm
It’s actually, ALL OF THE ABOVE. It’s this current Lickt, Bowles, & Baker regime, along with CHEAP WEAK Owners who don’t know what the hell they’re doing. But, it’s LICKT #1. Cause, HE was the one who decided that it was a great idea to re-sign CHRIS GODWIN (to that ridiculous deal), even when KNOWING that he was DRAFTING his literal REPLACEMENT in the upcoming 1st-ROUND. Therefore, CHOOSING Chris OVER Mike. He KNEW that Mike was going to be a FA the very next year, and would have to PAY HIM. 💯
March 9th, 2026 at 4:14 pm
I am done. Until Bowles is fired I will cheer for the Niners.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:14 pm
You can’t “blame” Bowles.
Yes, he is the horrible head coach most of us wanted fired.
But he wouldn’t be there to blame if it wasn’t for Team Glazer.
Seems our owners have collectively lost their minds.
And we should place some blame on the shoulders of Jason Licht.
My thinking had Bowles gone if Licht wasn’t in his dubious corner.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:14 pm
Happy for Mike. I never though for a minute he was staying. If you thought there was any chance he was staying here after 3rd 28 and the glazers not firing that idiot Blows you dont know football. He wants another ring and he knew he had zero chance of getting it here. Thanks for the memories Mike.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:15 pm
I think Mike just needed a change of scenery, it happens.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:15 pm
Buck stops at the Glazers. They could have canned Bowles and didn’t. Could’ve hired Liam and didn’t.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:15 pm
Let’s see……I can play for Kyle Shanahan, or I can stay with Toad “never pass up a 3rd plate at a buffet” Bowels….
March 9th, 2026 at 4:15 pm
Buccaneer Bonzai Says:
March 9th, 2026 at 3:40 pm
All of you whiners about Bowles…get over it! We have him for the next year!
Aren’t you the genius that kept guaranteeing Mike would be back next year? Maybe take a break from posting, you have zero credibility
March 9th, 2026 at 4:15 pm
@ David – That all starts with THE GM.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:16 pm
There went Oweh and we should have paid him that
If JL doesn’t sign Hendrickson
He better go with Evans
March 9th, 2026 at 4:16 pm
I chose Todd because ME was clearly upset with how the last few games ended. I think it came down to ME feeling like the Bucs aren’t making enough moves to build a roster that can make a deep run in the playoffs so you could also blame Licht too and maybe the Glazers because maybe they are telling Licht he can only spend so much cash over the cap.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:17 pm
Just a friendly reminder for all those saying we can now use that to xtra $20M in cap space to sign defense…no, we can’t. That money has already been spent on $13M in dead cap space from Mike and $7M for an undersized backup RB
March 9th, 2026 at 4:20 pm
Buc Bonzai… enjoy what?
2-0 start cause Bowles has the same playbook as the last 3 years so our players start fast while other teams are working installs?
A loss outta the bye?
No Bucs lead being safe?
Punts and kneel downs before the half?
33 run plays with 4 real good WRs in play?
We used to enjoy beating up our division the last 6 games to make the playoffs… now Bowles can’t even rally the troops to do that!
I said it before and couldn’t stay away… the camel back is now broken. See ya folks. Bucs aren’t winning anything again for a long time. I was a Licht supporter but he has dropped the ball so hard and so fast these past 2 years. Embarrassing stuff outta a franchise I thought had left that behind.
Add keeping Bowles and losing Mike to one of the worst off seasons in Bucs history right up there with wasting a pick on Bo Jackson who they screwed over.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:20 pm
Bonsai
Name more than 2 GREAT defensive players currently playing on this team. You can’t.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:22 pm
This poll is not substantive. JBF is only measuring people’s emotion not who or what is responsible for M1K3 decision. Also, the fact is Todd Bowles will forget more football than anyone on JBF staff and definitely anyone who reads this blog knows. While I don’t mind the occasional zinger, stop crucifying Bowles and the org for a down year and losing a legend. It feels worse for them as they are living it. We are just spectators.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:22 pm
Obviously ME at the end of the day
It wasn’t about money. Heck, the Bucs beat the 49ers just last season without ME even playing and the Bucs play in easier division, so not so much that angle. Seems purely a selfish decision and was about where and how he thought he could get up the rankings in catches, yards and TD’s and that’s a lot harder to do with Godwin, Egbuka, Tez, Jalen in house. Just wasn’t loyal to Bucs or Bucs fans here, but somehow fanbase will blame Bucs instead of Evans. Not that I’m blaming Evans, just how could one blame the Bucs here and not Evans for voluntarily making his own decision that wasn’t about money or a bad offer by Bucs. Just a new challenge and opportunity.
Wonder if the Bucs really did want him back like reported and he just chose to up and leave for new challenge & opp, if they regret not placing the Franchise tag on him now?!?
Are they wishing they had placed it on him now or was $27 million never in the cards anyways?
There’s gonna be a lot to talk about here moving forward
Wonder when we hear from Mike directly, will he use the “Bucs WR was in good hands and that made my decision easier” line. It’d be good PR to for the fanbase at the very least.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:23 pm
Edges are getting snatched up. Its time for JL to go I change my vote from Todd to Jason
March 9th, 2026 at 4:23 pm
JL’s only problem is he has a brown nose. Otherwise, he’s not a bad GM.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:25 pm
@ Jor Jor, why can’t you accept he wanted to win and he wasn’t going to do it here? Why do you have to make him selfish? When did he ever show that?
March 9th, 2026 at 4:25 pm
At least make money on the Glazers and Bowles ineptitude. Taking the under on total games won this season. This team will be lucky to win 5 games and that’s being optimistic.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:26 pm
@jor, why can’t you accept he wanted to win and he wasn’t going to do it here? Why do you have to make him selfish? When did he ever show that?
March 9th, 2026 at 4:28 pm
No one to blame. It was 100% Mike’s decision. Only he knows the reasons why. Maybe he just wanted a change.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:29 pm
Sign a mf Edge!!!!!!!
March 9th, 2026 at 4:30 pm
I don’t see any other moves for the Bucs. Looks like no one wants to play for Licht’s Losers and Todd 3/28 Bowles bottom 5 defense.
Only guys we are going to pull are trash and the Glazer boys are going to have to over pay for that.
Welcome back 76 Bucs
March 9th, 2026 at 4:30 pm
Does that mean you won’t be here, posting the same krap every day for years on end ?
March 9th, 2026 at 4:31 pm
if glazers gave licht to pay maxx salary evans would still be here. the defense is lifeless even if bucs sign hendrickson
March 9th, 2026 at 4:32 pm
Nobody wants to play 4 Bowles!!!!!!!!
March 9th, 2026 at 4:32 pm
That mf part you dingbat owners. Now we are doomed
March 9th, 2026 at 4:33 pm
Let’s see. We played San Fran last year week 6 and Evans, predictably, was on the inactive list with his hammy. The famous Shanahan offense was stuffed by our defense. Mayfield, without Evans, kicked the shlt out of the 49ers 30-19. Eleven points. We’re going beat them worse next time we play them. I don’t care how you try to play this- it’s on Mike. 100 %. What Tampa has done for him? Don’t let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out Mikey.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:34 pm
Nobody wants to play for this Edgeless team anymore
March 9th, 2026 at 4:34 pm
Day 1 of free agency … Love the initial moves we’ve made.
1 – Re-sign TE Cade Otton (3 year deal).
2 – Sign RB Kenneth Gainwell (2 year deal – $14 mil).
3 – Sign MLB Alex Anzalone (2 year deal – $17 mil).
4 – Re-sign LS Evan Deckers (terms undisclosed).
So far we’ve filled 4 holes out of about 13 that need to be filled, all on Day 1 of free agency.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:35 pm
Shoulda tagged Mike for wanting to leave after he was hurt
March 9th, 2026 at 4:36 pm
This day is the worst. Led with Cade Otton lol. All we did was get a 8.5 Milly LB
Bucs are soft as Cotton rn
March 9th, 2026 at 4:37 pm
3rd and 28/Cooper Kupp coach who called the defense on both plays and soooo many more!
March 9th, 2026 at 4:38 pm
Tom Brady thought Evans was so good that Mike had one reception in the Super Bowl. And 4 penalties. Bye Mike.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:40 pm
This will light such a fire in the belly of all Bucs players—perhaps just what they needed. We’re gonna be dangerous this year.
As for Mike, good luck playing the Rams twice and Seahawks twice this year.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:41 pm
Sign Hendrickson!!! Sign a mf Edge!!!!!!!!
March 9th, 2026 at 4:41 pm
Baker and Bowles Mike does not believe in either and all this OC changes
March 9th, 2026 at 4:42 pm
3rd and 28……………
March 9th, 2026 at 4:45 pm
Jason screwed up. Todd is a lame duck. This sucks.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:46 pm
We lost him at 3rd and 28. I just hope he goes into the H of F as a Buccaneer.
March 9th, 2026 at 4:46 pm
WoW!!!
Go on break, come back and somehow missed a poll! SMH!
If Evans thought the team was ran correctly and on the verge of a Super Bowl, he would have stayed… I feel very certain the reason he bolted was because IBS is a detriment to the Bucs and thats on the owners for retaining such a putrid HC/DC!
March 9th, 2026 at 4:49 pm
I think it is now time to fire Todd and Jason. The 2026 is now over
March 9th, 2026 at 4:52 pm
Bowles.
This team will go nowhere with this flat clown cluelessly wandering the sidelines.
3rd and 28. 4th and 14.
Punting inside the other teams 50.
8-9 – at best – every year.
Good lord I hope this is the last year Bucs fans have to suffer this fool.
March 9th, 2026 at 5:01 pm
Hugh,
I do accept it. We are talking about who is to blame for him leaving here tho and I was statinh you can’t blame Bucs here using as much deductive reasoning as possible, but fanbase still will. It wasn’t about money or offer and he likes his QB and they’ve been riding a playoff streak and having success as a franchise the last 1/2 decade (sans the crash last season), he’s gotten his 1k yards every year he stayed healthy and he had a choice and strong offer to become the 4th player to finish his entire career here, and it was all on table for him and he himself chose not to.
So the question is why? It’s been stated by his agent he wants his numbers up (that is selfish) when you’re doing Jerry Rice things already. What more can you want when you’re not even a quote/unquote volume type of receiver. You have a loaded receiver room and he still only averages 1 less target a game than the likes of Justin Jefferson and others last season. So you’re willing to give up this whole 12 year thing you built here in Tampa and with the fans who adore and love you and move on and not finish your career for what? A new challenge and opportunity. Wasn’t he just a self admitted “Buc for Life” a year ago. What changed so quickly and why uproot so close to the end and becoming pewter for life? Well it’s a lot harder to get those targets and numbers up with young guys like Tez, EE Jalen in house and then Godwin & what was a loaded WR room. So that all kind of sounds a bit selfish under the definition. Don’t blame him for making such a decision, but who’s to blame for him leaving? It’s him. It’s a ruthless business at the end of the day, so you have to be selfish in many ways. They almost all do with their choices in their careers. Here it’s just highlighted mire by his decision and the evidence at hand with his agents words and it not being about money or Bucs offer or treatment of him.
It’s why I find it interesting that fans will blame Bucs somehow instead of Evans here. I blame the Bucs plenty, but not here and not for this. Even if it hurts. I’m a Bucs fam at the end of the day first and foremost. They are the one constant in the entire equation as players come and go whether by choice or not. Then I’m a Mike Evans or any player fan after that. So if you look objectively and through that lens, it sure looks a bit like a self-centered decision. Whether slight, a smidgen or a lot. Doesn’t matter. I didn’t say anything that wrong or mean. Or that I can’t accept brotha.
March 9th, 2026 at 5:08 pm
Now we repel free agents
Who woulda thought
March 9th, 2026 at 5:43 pm
FA targets for Bucs rapidly signing. Edmunds, Bush, Mafe, Oweh, Franklin- Meyers, Phillips, Mack. . JL sitting on his hands? Lloyd still out there. Get back to work, Mike is gone.
March 9th, 2026 at 6:05 pm
I blame RodMunch for Mike’s departure.
March 9th, 2026 at 6:08 pm
Exactly what high caliber free agents are going to want to sign here? Maybe one or two that are “only” interested in the money. It takes more than that. We’ve signed enough high dollar free agents to prove that already.
March 9th, 2026 at 6:17 pm
Don’t try to spin this as anything other than the fact that he doesn’t believe in the coach, the team, or the franchise at this point. It’s $60 million over three years in California, where nearly 40% will be taxed, so it’s really closer to about $15 million a year. The Bucs couldn’t match that? Lmao. He clearly thinks this team and franchise are headed down the Toilet…

I couldn’t see this poll at all, so I couldn’t vote on it. No one can tell me that this offense will be better without Mike Evans; I don’t believe it, & I don’t believe we’ll see it. I don’t blame Mike for leaving; I blame the Glazers for not paying him. If they win 7 games next year, I’ll be surprised. Evans dictated coverages; combined, the WRs they have can’t do that, & the offense will suffer, healthy or not. The D is still a huge question mark. The Glazers will regret letting go of a franchise WR, a future Hall Of Fame player, to a conference rival, just like the Colts did with Manning & the Patriots did with Brady (and I’m glad the Patriots did, for sure), who both won Super Bowls with their new teams. I see Evans winning another SB with his new team. I feel bad for the players on the team because the Glazers let them all down. All the haters will be happy when they don’t come close to the playoffs next year, & honestly, I hope I’m wrong.

Too late for all the good ones JL. Sat on your hands so now you settle for Vonn Miller, Bosa, Clowney and the other scraps or more likely do nothing. Unless you surprise us with Big Trey. Holding my breath now.

@Jor Joe, fair enough. You support your rationale well. While I still think he stays with a different head coach, I see your point.

I’ve been a diehard fan of the Bucs since 1979 & haven’t posted anything in years until today. Oh, look at all the pass rushers they signed with all the money they saved by not re-signing Mike Evans – 0, so far. ZERO. And they can sign Trey Hendrickson – WHO CARES? With the #1 defense, they still won’t make the playoffs. I accept the fact that this organization has chosen to be mediocre, at best, which is why I’m angry & feel the need to say anything at all, & nobody cares what I think, but the bottom line is, HOF players you keep because they make your team better. The teams in the NFC South got better because Tampa Bay decided to save money. They’ve made me upset before, but I’ve never been this mad at the Glazers as I am right now.
