Demands surface.<\/p>\n

The stench in the air reminds Joe of driving through the dairy fields of a Midwest countryside on a warm, humid summer night when the farmers were just finished spreading sh!t.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s thick out there, boys and girls.<\/p>\n

Known fearmonger, Mike Evans\u2019 agent Deryk Gilmore, just got caught talking out of both sides of his mouth.<\/p>\n

Last week, appearing on WDAE-AM 620 -FM 95.7, Gilmore made it clear Evans, who is expected to be a free agent next week when the free agency dinner bell rings, \u201cwants to look at all 32 teams<\/a>.\u201d You know, \u201cShow me the money!\u201d<\/p>\n

So either Gilmore was flat out lying to Bucs fans on the radio or he is flat out lying<\/a> to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.<\/p>\n

Apparently, Gilmore provided Fowler with a list of criteria a team must meet for Evans to consider playing it for next year. Shockingly (sarcasm alert), 32 teams do not meet the requirements. Not even close.<\/p>\n

Per Fowler, here are the prerequisites:<\/p>\n

* Evans wants a quarterback he believes in.<\/p>\n

* Team has a shot at a Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

* Team has a top-shelf offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n

* Wants a promise for a lot of targets.<\/p>\n

As Joe has stated before, Gilmore is a bad liar. Let\u2019s break these demands down in relation to Evans and the Bucs.<\/p>\n

Quarterback<\/p>\n

It seems Evans is tight with Baker Mayfield. So Joe doesn\u2019t think Mayfield is an issue. Remember, until Evans broke his collarbone, he had no trouble racking up yards with Mayfield throwing him the ball.<\/p>\n

Super Bowl Shot<\/p>\n

Uh, oh. This is very tricky. Joe cannot say with a straight face the Bucs are a Super Bowl contender. The way the defense played last year and how the offense collapsed in the second half, even after it got healthier, Joe isn\u2019t 100 percent confident the Bucs are NFC South contenders.<\/p>\n

After seeing how Evans reacted in the tunnel after the choke job against Atlanta at home, Joe thinks the Bucs would have to give a helluva sales pitch to make him think the Bucs are a Super Bowl contender.<\/p>\n

Offensive Coordinator<\/p>\n

Bucs AC\/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht said at the combine last week that going back to \u201cLiam\u2019s offense\u201d would be \u201cbeneficial<\/a>\u201d to certain Bucs players. Was Licht suggesting Evans would be a beneficiary with Zac Robinson, a Sean McVay disciple like Liam Coen, coming to town to run the offense?<\/p>\n

Targets<\/p>\n

This is another area where Joe thinks Gilmore is full of it. No, Evans wouldn\u2019t get the same targets with the Bucs that he would if he played for the Chiefs or Bills. But guess what? He also won\u2019t get double- or triple-covered with the Bucs as he would with the Chiefs or the Bills.<\/p>\n

Again, Gilmore is a fearmonger. He has conned people<\/a> before Evans had one foot out the door. He\u2019s trying to play people again.<\/p>\n

The fact Gilmore patently lied within a span of five days about what his client seeks should be a big tip off for Bucs fans that Gilmore is trying to shake down the Bucs for more Team Glazer loot.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what agents do: Beg and lie to try to get the best deal for their clients and, indirectly, a cut for themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Demands surface.
