Mike Evans Bids Bucs Fans Goodbye
March 14th, 2026
Classy move by former Bucs receiver and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans.
Friday morning, a reader twittered Joe and asked why Evans had not issued a thank-you note to Bucs fans for their strong support since he was drafted by the Bucs in 2013.
Joe thought that was very unusual. Didn’t sound like Evans. Was he that PO’ed at the Bucs?
Joe only needed to wait a few hours.
Evans issued his goodbye through his foundation Friday night. There, he professed deep gratitude for Bucs fans for supporting him along the way and being able to share iconic moments in franchise history with Bucs fans, including winning the Super Bowl at The Licht House.
It seems Evans suggested he will always identify himself as a Bucs player. Texas A&M, too. He noted the Bucs molded him into the future Hall of Fame he became.
“I will always be a Buc at heart,” Evans said. “I will forever be grateful for the unwavering support you gave me and my family. … The bond we built will always mean the world to me.”
Classy move by a classy guy.

Surprised he did not end it with:
Sorry you’re stuck with Bowels But I’m free from that turd, Later Losers!…..
March 14th, 2026 at 12:19 am
Yeah whatever. Don’t care he is not a Buc.

Nice post Mike. That’s why we love him and his family.
Will never 4get their IG live on the way home from the boat parade. It was so lit.
Nor all those incredible plays. Could always count on 13.
While hurt he preserved himself for a second career wind. That was good for his legs.
Is what it is. If Im Mike tho I came back home after my injury to revive us again.
He left bcuz of Todd and bcuz of the luster of a healthy 9ers D vs ours filled with holes at the time. Todd pizzed him the f off. And he gonna get the attention in San Fran. He craving
But if we draft an Edge in Rd 1 and David comes back.
We can beat them in the playoffs np.
Class Act. Hurts and will be missed. Not rooting 4 ur team tho.Love their organization
And our Receivers outplay yalls just sayin.
Baker beating Brock next time we play yall. And we just double you with Winfield and #21.
Peace out. Now stop talking ish. And drop one for us

Love Mike. He got fed up with the paltry showing by the leadership of this franchise. He suffered through some of the worst of the Lost Decade. He deserves to make his choice to pursue greatness when this team has chosen mediocrity.
I’ll be rooting for him when the Bucs either miss the playoffs or are knocked out early because the defense is hot garbage.

I will bet a lot of $$ that if coen was our current hc, this post wouldn’t have been needed. Bowels is at least 2yrs employed longer than he should’ve been and that why Evans left
March 14th, 2026 at 12:41 am
Cold hard truth .He left here went somewhere else He thinks he has a better chance of winning the Super Bowl. Lost all faith on Bowles as a head coach. Anybody that argues that point don’t know what’s going on and isn’t being honest about it. Why else would have left? But most importantly, why is Todd still the head coach of this team?

Bum Baker costing the Bucs the playoffs last year also cost the Bucs their all-time best offensive player.
High cost to pay for a loser like Mayfield. That piece of garbage had better come through next year, and not be left with year of excuses about him being ‘hurt’ every time he single handedly knocks the Bucs out of the playoffs.

Meant not rooting for 49ers nor their organization, but support Mike …
Hope he misses his 7 hammy games next year and 8 the following so he can spend more time with family. Hope he gets 1000 yards another year. And hope he gets doubled so the 9ers offense sucks. And hope he gets mad at Purdy sooner than later and they make it as far as a pick 6 by Parrish in January. I think he does well but hammy recovery lingers and happens bcuz he tries to do to much. I think their offense will struggle more than they think. Kittle is out and RB getting old. Their whole offense old 😂😂😂. Defense too.
Mike makers 49ers better. But not better than us if we take an Edge at 15

Mike makes 49ers better but not better than us if we Draft Edge Rd 1

My heart sank when I saw the “—“ It’s as if they used AI and didn’t bother to take them out.
March 14th, 2026 at 12:57 am
Baker ain’t no Bum. Try Brock
March 14th, 2026 at 1:14 am
Classy move? Chat gbt wrote that LOL
March 14th, 2026 at 1:19 am
We lost a future HOFer and yet STILL have the best receiver room in the league 1-4 + TE!!!
March 14th, 2026 at 1:28 am
Thanks, Todd. Thanks, Jason. Thanks, Glazers. 3rd and 28.
Retain Bowles. Great idea.
March 14th, 2026 at 1:35 am
Good luck Mike!
Next stop Canton!
Go Bucs!
March 14th, 2026 at 1:45 am
Baker is way better than Purdy
Our Oline is better
Our WR room is better
Their TE is mia next year will be avg rest of his career
And I’ll take Bucky with healthy Guards any day over McCaffery whose prime just ended

Rod munch such a hater bakers a dog when he had a competent o line and a good oc he put up 40 plus touchdowns is he perfect no but he’s far from a bum.
March 14th, 2026 at 2:04 am
All Bucs have to do is face them with a healthy defense is stop the run which will do,
Double cover old Mike as he loses that $60 milly over 30 comfy now step,
And throw the Edge revamped sink at Purdy till he knows how steve young felt that day.
Edge Rd 1

If you write in Google Docs or Word, it turns them into —

And last year with the playoffs on the line, Baker single handedly loses 4 games in a row to knock the Bucs out of the playoffs.
He was terrible, he missed simple throws all over the field, and there is no one to blame but Baker for that collapse.
Mike was there, he saw it, he knows what happened and he knows he doesn’t have years left to waste on a completely inconsistent bum QB who can make middle school level throws when the pressure is on. Mike was here for the Detroit game in the playoffs when Baker throws an INT with 2 mins left in one score. Mike was here vs the Redskins in the playoffs when the defense makes a huge 4th quarter goal line stand, and Baker has the chance to lead the team down – go up by 2 scores and put the game away, only to instead see Baker choke and fumble the ball, losing the game.
Baker is a bum who fails in the biggest moments.

Ai lol

Baker sucked after the bye. No two ways about it. It doesn’t help when he knows the defense can’t stop a dead pig from converting a 4th and 14.
Well out, Mikey. The true football understanding fans support your decision and lament the Bucs’ big fat one that made yours easy.
