Kay Adams Delivers Another Gut-Punch To Bucs Fans
March 18th, 2026
Sad.
Joe doesn’t believe Kay Adams had any intention of throwing rocks at Bucs fans. But she just as easily could have given Bucs fans a knee to the groin.
On her weekday morning show on FanDuel TV, “Up and Adams,” Adams decided to list her top-five free agent moves by teams last week.
Sadly, two of her top-three signings were Bucs starters who proclaimed they wanted to chase a Super Bowl ring, indirectly saying they don’t believe the Bucs offer them a chance.
Tops on Adams’ list is, of course, is future Hall of Fame receiver Mike Evans all but telling Team Glazer to keep their loot as Evans took a pay cut to go to San Francisco, a team the Bucs beat last year. Unreal!
Then Adams’ No. 3 favorite signing was the Bucs’ best cornerback, Jamel Dean, going to Pittsburgh to chase a ring.
Sad days for the Bucs. It’s one thing to lose two valuable starters in free agency. Quite another for them to pass gas in the hallways of One Buc Palace on their way out the door.
Kay's TOP-FIVE free agency signings so far:
1. Mike Evans ➡️ 49ers
2. Trey Hendrickson ➡️ Ravens
3. Jamel Dean & Jaquan Brisker ➡️ Steelers
4. Travis Etienne ➡️ Saints
5. C.J. Gardner-Johnson ➡️ Bills@heykayadams pic.twitter.com/iK3qVT328Y— Up & Adams (@UpAndAdamsShow) March 17, 2026

I wouldn’t consider Pittsburg a place chasing a ring.
They have a new coach and no QB.
Let’s see how often he is hurt.
Or watch him play man all the time and never have injuries.
Either way, I was tired of Dean and his antics (Missed Games)anyway.
ME13 is a different story and will always be telling.
I am however, over the doom and gloom. We knew they weren’t gonna spend money for Todd Bowels. He has to do it the hard way and maybe he will.
I’m excited for the draft. Watch us take Sadiq after all the defensive misses. 🙂

I never saw her as being relevant in any thing she has to say ever.

We got Brady, New England took five gap years when he left. Went immediately back to a Super with a new HC. That’s my mentality. The glazers are getting the five year window. You don’t make a Super Bowl run in the next five years. The glazers will be deemed medicare owners in my book. I understand our heart and soul of the team is gone. Guess what life goes on. It’s the Tampa Buccaneers not the Tampa Bay Mike Evans’ He’ll retire a buccaneer. The same way Brady did. Everything comes with a cost. To get Brady, a Super Bowl, and keep the unit as long as we did. We had to pay the piper eventually. I just wish the piper knocked, instead of kicking down my front door lol. Godspeed Mike. Tbh if he wins another Super Bowl. It will get him in to Canton that much faster. Look at the positives. There’s always a silver lining. Even if we don’t know it yet.

All, I can say is……WHATEVER!!!
March 18th, 2026 at 7:23 am
Need a top 5 pick to get a Drake Maye level player can’t do that winning 8 games every season the SB window won’t open till it’s completely shut
March 18th, 2026 at 7:26 am
Who cares about talk show top 5 lists? They had Baker as an MVP last year through 7-8 weeks. It’s content for us morons to click on.
March 18th, 2026 at 7:30 am
Pittsburgh isn’t winning a ring anytime soon. She’s full of botox!
March 18th, 2026 at 7:35 am
Get ready for Joe to post this everytime time some one includes Mike in a list
March 18th, 2026 at 7:42 am
Turn the page Joe. I could give two $#!/% less what everyone thinks of ME & JD. They’re dead to me. And frankly, I’ll enjoy not seeing either of those names on our weekly injury report.

what’s with the fascination you Joes have with:
1) Kay
2) an aging WR who decides to move on from average Todd?

“New England took five gap years when he left. Went immediately back to a Super with a new HC. That’s my mentality.”
One big difference- The Glazers don’t seem to be able to know when to move on from a lousy HC. Patriots corrected the Jerod Mayo mistake immediately- we’re on year 5 of the Bowles error (era).
March 18th, 2026 at 8:06 am
Dean just wanted to not see Tet McMillan embarrassing him twice a year.
I’m sure he’ll say Pittsburgh is a better place to live. His new HC is old school so
He won’t be able to not play cause he got a boo boo.

‘The Truth Hurts’ LMAO……we will not win, until #6 is gone!

When the most significant thing your team has done in the offseason has been to stand by a coach who’s so bad their face of the franchise wants out and takes a pay cut to do it, this is what you get. The rest of the offseason so far is a bunch of nothing.
Also, if the local media stays on this, when Bowles inevitably has another one of those “bad enough to not matter, but good enough to get by” seasons, maybe they’ll think twice about retaining him.
March 18th, 2026 at 8:16 am
This news is all the rage right now, 3 months it won’t matter. Dean’s loss is what? Nothing really. So he had a decent, not all that good, decent year. Evans harder to replace but I’m not ashamed of our wide receiver room at all.
March 18th, 2026 at 8:24 am
We have 2 in the top 5!! That’s good right?
March 18th, 2026 at 8:32 am
We all knew Dean was leaving because, even though he’s very good one healthy, there’s no way they were signing him to a big contract when he plays 12 games a year.
They already have his replacement. The only issue at CB is Zion needs to step up and show last year was a fluke. And of course, depth as usual.

StormyinFl. It’s not Joe’s fault that Kay Adams is fascinating. One of many words that fit and it fits Like a glove. And I ain’t whistling Dixie!
March 18th, 2026 at 8:49 am
It’s all good Kay, people don’t always remember that the truth does hurt. I’m not to happy about the way Mike made his exit, and throwing shade but it’s all good to. Retire from the 49ers to, if you hate Tampa that’s on you. You could’ve gotten the only thing you wanted and left when you got your ring with the man that made it happen. I wonder if you begged Brady to come here 🤔 Good bye Mike.
March 18th, 2026 at 8:59 am
We still talking about the “HOF” receiver with no first team all pro selections? Hmmmmm
March 18th, 2026 at 9:09 am
I think a better title to this post would have been “Kay Adams Delivers Another Gut-Punch To Joe” because real Buc fans have already moved on from who has left the team. They are no longer Bucs and no longer relevant to the 2026 season.
March 18th, 2026 at 9:16 am
Kay Adams?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
ME13 is TOAST – Good riddance.
Bye-bye – I won’t cry.
March 18th, 2026 at 9:17 am
She’s got Etienne & CJ Gardner Johnson
Where Kenneth Walker and Alontae Taylor should be
Devin Lloyd is another great signing to a division rival, way better than Carolina signing Phillips.
Also, for all the Crosby fans, did you hear him whining about not being flown to Baltimore privately for his physical?
March 18th, 2026 at 9:17 am
Go Away Kay
March 18th, 2026 at 9:29 am
I keep thinking Mike and his family are in for a rude awakening moving to San Francisco. Toxic waste, homeless people defacating in the streets, $9 a gallon gas, massive taxes. He’ll be lucky to get a 2 bedroom apartment there for the value of his house in Tampa. The People’s Republic of California is a VERY different place than the “free state of Florida.” Good Luck Mike
March 18th, 2026 at 9:55 am
When you are one of the elites it doesn’t matter. You are looking at it through our eyes. Mike is a multi millionaire. 20 million a year. He can live pretty large. He’s not walking down town SF and catching the cable car. He’s in knob hill, union square getting driven around in private limo, vacationing up in Tahoe. No more 98 degree summers with 99 percent humidity. He will be just fine.
March 18th, 2026 at 10:11 am
The Bowles apologists are coming with their excuses and selective choice of statistical burble to prove it’s not Todd’s fault. It was everyone else’s fault. So everyone but Todd got fired, 5 Bucs starters couldn’t wait to get away from him and now they’re mumbling about the draft saving the team. When the same culture exists to ensure players regress and suck. Yay. Go Bucs.
March 18th, 2026 at 10:16 am
Mike was the only one offered a contract tho…. How can you state the can’t wait to get away if they were allowed back in lol
March 18th, 2026 at 11:18 am
Agree with George R, the 49ers are not in the city anymore. they moved to Santa Clara on the other side of the bay by San Jose where its all super up scale suburbia.
its actually a very beautiful place to live if you have to live in the San Francisco area.

Joe … ‘Sadly, two of her top-three signings were Bucs starters who proclaimed they wanted to chase a Super Bowl ring, indirectly saying they don’t believe the Bucs offer them a chance’.
Mike & Jamel never said, directly or indirectly, that I’ve read that the Bucs didn’t have a chance of winning the Super Bowl. Both did make it pretty clear though that they felt the teams they signed with had a BETTER CHANCE than the Bucs of winning the Super Bowl. In the case of San Fran that’s probably true; in the case of the Steelers, I’m not so sure.
Doesn’t matter though; who they sign with when they’re free agents is up to them. Once they move on from the Bucs, they’re old news to me. Well, until I tune in to JoeBucsFan and miss the daily smattering of ‘Oh Mike, why did you let Todd Bowles run you off?’ Hail the drama queens. At least Kay Adams is focusing on kneeing Joe in the groin, not all of us.
March 18th, 2026 at 11:25 am
You can’t blame Evans and Dean for flushing the toilet. They are in the inside of one Buc Palace. The smell was obvious in December. They did whaat they had to do.
March 18th, 2026 at 12:12 pm
The People’s Republic of California is a VERY different place than the “free state of Florida.” Good Luck Mike…Outrigger
Outrigger, have you ever been anyplace out of Ruskin? The free state of “Florida” is an odd name for a place where you can go to prison for smoking a joint and where the topic of climate change is forbidden by the gov. Real free.
My guess you have never been south Florida at high tide.
I loved the years I spent in Dunedin, but would have a hard time living there now with the current political environment.
I also loved the Bucs though all those bad years since ’78, but 3rd and 28 and the Glazier’s inaction has changed my mind.
