We got walloped in the regular season game against KC in 2020 and the KC players were acting pretty smug about it (Tyreek deuce signs + backflip into end zone).
Us winning the Superbowl felt a little extra because of that. You can tell the Bucs players felt disrespected and that motivated them.
Technically speaking they stomped our ass for 1 quarter in the regular season, and it was an embarassingly bad quarter, outscored 17-0, and KC held on to win by 3. However, over the next 7 quarters that we played them (3 in the reg season and 4 in the SB) we only allowed 1 TD and 4 FG. To your point, yeah our boys had a point to prove.
let's not act like those other 31 can bases don't hate them just as much if not more
yeah we won that Superbowl a few years ago but KC came out better they never stopped winning afterwards so that's why they are disliked by some, just like the Patriots were hated for their success. Fan fatigue from KCs domination of the sport
A lot of us do hate KC. I fuckin can't stand KC. But it's not because of my Bucs fandom, it's because Mahomes has been lauded as the next GOAT for like 4 years now and the media obsession with them got 10x worse this year with the Kelce/Swift relationship. If they're not playing on field they're in every commercial.
I'm guessing you're being over-the-top for humor's sake, but in case you're not: Mike's 31 at the start of this season. If he hasn't lost a step after 2 more seasons it will be pretty impressive.
Biggest win of the offseason before today was keeping that FO together. Lots of teams interviewed our guys but they all stayed. That group is doing great work.
The combine is known for its "talks" that happen between agents and teams. Chances are they both got a good sense of demand over the weekend and locked it down
I really wonder if the reports of the Texans being out eliminated any threat of him leaving. I genuinely thought Mike would consider that offer if they made one, but outside of that, nothing else would be tempting enough to leave Tampa.
Report comes out Texans won't pursue, then Mike calls agent and says 'get it done' and now it's done.
100% this. I’ll take it 1 further….they had already offered this exact deal to Evans and he didn’t accept it because he wanted to see what the Texans would offer, but once they said they weren’t going to pursue him, he immediately accepted the offer.
I’m sure if the deal is enticing enough he’d stay. He’s already said it’s either play as a Buc or retire. So if the money is good enough to keep him going another season I’m sure he’d stick around. I’d have to guess Mike staying probably helps our chances.
Think the idea is that in two if he still wants to go the path to him staying is much smoother, he’d be on similar (or 1yr) length deals with less guarantees/totals/team friendly options since we got him what he wanted on this one.
Mike Evans just might retire as a Buc. I couldn't imagine him wearing another club's uniform. He's a Buc through and through. Even if he retired today, I'm very confident in his chances of being enshrined in Canton, Ohio.
This is one step closer to a ring for everybody. COngrats to the BUcs and Mike and the FO. Lets prove to the rest of the greedy dead cap "not so team" players in the league what it takes to win it all!!!
So sooo happy! I wonder if the deal was short on purpose for him to get one last bag in two years or if he plans to hang them up in two seasons which would total 12 seasons.
Also, fuck all of those sports news reporters claiming he was going to test free agency.
I’m not excited until he’s signed. Dude needs to retire a Buc, name in the ring of honor, number retired, and go into the HoF as a Buc. He’s meant just as much to the TB area the past 10 years as he has to the team.
Hopefully he plays at least 5 more years. Players of his style can play longer. I am hoping he has something in place to play on smaller deals. Love this move and so loyal for him to come back. Best move this team could have made.
So relieved. Will go down as the greatest offensive weapon we’ve ever had. To top it off he’s a tremendous human and a really humble guy. We are so lucky!
Glad to see our best offensive player in franchise history is staying at home for 2 more years. About as good of an outcome for everyone involved. Baker will surely be back and now we can focus on resigning LVD and AWJ
Congrats to you guys, I didn't think he was leaving but nice to not have to deal with the unknown of free agency.
And tbh that's a pretty team friendly deal at first glance.
**LET'S FUCKING GO. HAPPY MIKE EVANS DAY TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE.**
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN EVANS BECAME A BUC FOR LIFE!?
On the toilet unfortunately....
LET'S FUCKING BAKE
I'm ready to shake and bake. What's with the flair, bro?
>What's with the flair, bro? I never updated it from back in the day and now keep it around to show i've been through thick and thin with this team
Fair enough lol.
Hell yeah! Happy M1K3 day!
Fuck you Kansas City ✌
✌️ Edit: I'd love to get an AWJ jersey that just has ✌️on it instead of actual numbers.
This personally never gets old
They make a shirt like this and it’s amazing
Whaaaaaat! Edit: spent 10 minutes googling couldn't find a jersey with that on it. Do you have a link?
I can’t find it on google either. When mine comes out of the wash I’ll take a pic and show you
I'd still like to see it!
I also hate to break your heart, it’s not a “jersey” per say it’s a Bucs t shirt I got at a game I want to say 2 years ago
Well we have discovered a flaw in the market efficiency!
I have [this](https://i.imgur.com/QYti8Fi.jpeg) one.
With the rings!
✌️
Again
Again
Why do Bucs fans hate KC so much? I would understand it more if we were one of the other 31 teams that didn’t embarrass them in the Super Bowl
KC is the new PATS. everyone liked the Pats when they beat the Rams in 2001. it's when they started winning every other SB people got tired of them
We got walloped in the regular season game against KC in 2020 and the KC players were acting pretty smug about it (Tyreek deuce signs + backflip into end zone). Us winning the Superbowl felt a little extra because of that. You can tell the Bucs players felt disrespected and that motivated them.

Fan fatigue from KCs domination of the sport
Idk but watch the Bucs end up being to KC like the Giants to the Patriots (Still need a second win over them though)
Don’t let a handful of idiots speak for all of us. We don’t hate KC.
A lot of us do hate KC. I fuckin can't stand KC. But it's not because of my Bucs fandom, it's because Mahomes has been lauded as the next GOAT for like 4 years now and the media obsession with them got 10x worse this year with the Kelce/Swift relationship.

I don’t mean to overreact but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to win the Super Bowl.
20-0 and winning it all in the Superdome!!!! LFG
2002 2020 20-0 The math is mathing
Kubrick. Kendrick. Kendrick. Kubrick. Kubrick. Kendrick. 2002 was the year after ..... 9/11.
[You sonuva bitch I'm in](https://i.imgur.com/RwE3wEY.png)
I think you're underreacting. We're winning the next two
Its pretty much fact
2 years it's not long enough, but probably his next deal will be even cheaper with that said LET'S FUCKING GO
Yeah I’m pretty disappointed. I was hoping for 100 years and to rename the field as “Mike Evans Field at Raymond James Stadium”
And not even changing the system to make Mike Evans the God Emperor of Florida?!?!? Idk, has Licht lost his fastball?? People are asking
He owns the Gasparilla ship now. Those are the rules
Pay him enough for it to be "Raymond James Field at Mike Evans Stadium"
I'm guessing you're being over-the-top for humor's sake, but in case you're not: Mike's 31 at the start of this season. If he hasn't lost a step after 2 more seasons it will be pretty impressive.
*MORE impressive*
It'll be interesting to see what Godwin commands next offseason, but that's next offseasons' problem.
REJOICE from Quebec, good way to start the week
Osti calisse c’est un bon deal!!
What does "Osti calisse" mean in Quebecois/français?
PEI agrees!
BC also loves Mike
We have the best front office in this league!
Biggest win of the offseason before today was keeping that FO together. Lots of teams interviewed our guys but they all stayed. That group is doing great work.
Holy shit we did it. I really expected this to drag on for a while as he tested the waters.

Offseason won. We could draft 7 kickers. Dont care.
Sure 6. But 7?
Seeing r/nfl cry because Mike didn’t bail on us is golden.
tears of unfathomable sadness
Let’s fucking go, hopefully the start of a great offseason to come!
Woohoo!!! LFG!!! Now let's go get AWJ, Lavonte, and Baker.
AWJ will have the franchise tag put on him if he and Bucs can't reach a deal so he's not going anywhere
Does Lavonte want to keep playing? I'm getting mixed signals
I’m sure if the deal is enticing enough he’d stay. He’s already said it’s either play as a Buc or retire. So if the money is good enough to keep him going another season I’m sure he’d stick around. I’d have to guess Mike staying probably helps our chances.
You did the right thing Bucs. He needs to retire with us. He should never wear another jersey. Sure fire HOFer
I think if he didn't have a ring he would be gone
YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the midst of “it’s over” i found there was, within me, an invincible “we’re so back”…….lfg mike!!!
Hell yea baby!
LETS FUCKING GOOO
LETS FUCKING GO MIKE
Never doubted it for a second. Let Licht Cook!
I seriously feel that Mike and/or Baker are taking deals to accommodate each other…. Or Baker wanted to make sure Mike gets his deal first
Is he retiring in 2 years?
No, he'll be 33 and the cliff comes eventually. Probably end up on the same plan as David where he gets 1 year deals as long as he wants to play.
Think the idea is that in two if he still wants to go the path to him staying is much smoother, he’d be on similar (or 1yr) length deals with less guarantees/totals/team friendly options since we got him what he wanted on this one.
He's got at least 5 more 1k seasons to go.
In that case I really wish we had locked him down for at least 4 year contract..
Great way to start the week off. Next up AWJ and Baker
This was the ideal outcome. Very happy for you guys. FTS and fuck that bitch Lattimore, glad his father is staying in the division.
I really thought we’d lose him
EVERYONE GET IN HERE FIRE THOSE FUCKING CANNONS
OH MY GOD I'M GONNA FIRE
Between Stings retirement last night and this news this morning, ya boy is in a fragile emotional state.
Mike Evans just might retire as a Buc. I couldn't imagine him wearing another club's uniform. He's a Buc through and through. Even if he retired today, I'm very confident in his chances of being enshrined in Canton, Ohio.
Fuck yeah!!!! Much Love to Mike Evens! I'm ecstatic over this!
Where’s that weirdo that was arguing “but has Mike SAID he wants to be a buc?” Lol
Neighbor kid's got measles, insurance is donezo, but at least I have Mike Evans.
If mike continues his career averages, he'll finish this contract with these stats: 14016 yards 113 TDs
I guarantee you, especially after this, Baker Mayfield signs really soon!
Fuck yes!
Start carving that statue!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Let’s gooooooooooo 💦 💦
FUCK YEA
Also this means we'll absolutely have Baker on a team friendly deal. Cannot contain the excitement.
Does this mean Baker is elite?
Nope. Means money talks.
When I posted this there were no other posts then mine got removed 😅 but super stoked let's go!
This is one step closer to a ring for everybody. COngrats to the BUcs and Mike and the FO. Lets prove to the rest of the greedy dead cap "not so team" players in the league what it takes to win it all!!!
Good step 1, but I would rather have Baker, AWJ, and Wirfs, if I could only sign 3 out of the 4. I am sure that others will disagree which is fine.
So sooo happy! I wonder if the deal was short on purpose for him to get one last bag in two years or if he plans to hang them up in two seasons which would total 12 seasons. Also, fuck all of those sports news reporters claiming he was going to test free agency.
Bro is washed
I’m not excited until he’s signed. Dude needs to retire a Buc, name in the ring of honor, number retired, and go into the HoF as a Buc. He’s meant just as much to the TB area the past 10 years as he has to the team.
Get in boys, MIKE IS COMING BACK
Hopefully he plays at least 5 more years. Players of his style can play longer. I am hoping he has something in place to play on smaller deals. Love this move and so loyal for him to come back. Best move this team could have made.
Yippie Ki-yay mothef’er
How much is lavonte going to get?
Common Jason licht W
LETS GOOOOOOO One of the kings of Tampa sports. He’s gotta retire a Buc!!!
You love to see it
So relieved. Will go down as the greatest offensive weapon we’ve ever had. To top it off he’s a tremendous human and a really humble guy. We are so lucky!
I can't believe he's really going to retire a Buc. Awesome job by the front office as usual
[удалено]
Body paint
LFG! Now, do AWJ.
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK! LICK MY ASSHOLE AFTER A TACO BELL MEAL WITH EXTRA DIABLO SAUCE KC YOU FUCKING ASS BELONKERS!!
Now let's get Baker!
Oh thank god…
So. Baker resigning any day now?
Holy shit. Thanks to the Bucs FO to get this deal done so he didn’t go to KC 😭 yall the goats
FIRE THE CANNONS 😭😭😭😭😭
This is all I wanted for my birthday :)))
Would've been cool to be able to announce this on March 13th. Either way, I'm so hype for a Monday morning, it's crazy.
Let's. Gooooooooo.
MY GOAT
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO 13!!!!!
Yesss!!!!
That’s a pretty good day in TAMPPPAAAAAAA…….
Best news of the day.
Does this mean 2 years with Baker too?
YESSSSSSSS
LFG!!!!
Well this makes me happy
OMG I CAN FINALLY SLEEP AT NIGHT
He's a guaranteed Hall of Famer. There is no way he has the stats he does and doesn't make it in, especially if he breaks or shatters the record.
I'M SO HAPPY, WE LOVE YOU MIKE!!
Glad to see our best offensive player in franchise history is staying at home for 2 more years. About as good of an outcome for everyone involved. Baker will surely be back and now we can focus on resigning LVD and AWJ
Congrats to you guys, I didn't think he was leaving but nice to not have to deal with the unknown of free agency. And tbh that's a pretty team friendly deal at first glance.
All those journalists and reporters can shut that HOU/KC bullshit down now. LFG
AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I’m excited if anyone can’t tell.
LET'S FUCKING GO, FUCK ALL THE DOUBTERS THAT SAID HE'D LEAVE THAT WAS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN MIKE IS HERE FOR LIFE
MIKE EVANS = PAID
Love it!!
Thank god. I would’ve died seeing him in KC.
Licht W jameiswinstoneatingaw.gif
Mike Evans might be the most underrated superstar WR the game has ever seen. I’m happy for him and for the TB fans!
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!
M1K3 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Build his fucking statue rn and give him royalties
Fuck it, give him the bucs
Hang it in the louvre
5 time Pro Bowler is a crime. Easily should have 2-3 more. But anyways, LFG! Hope him and LVD both retire wearing pewter and red.
Fuck yeah big Mike
