\t\t\tMike Evans Bids Bucs Fans Goodbye
\nMarch 14th, 2026 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Classy move by former Bucs receiver and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans.<\/p>\n

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 team in 2014.<\/p>\n

Joe thought that was very unusual. Didn\u2019t sound like Evans. Was he that PO\u2019ed at the Bucs?<\/p>\n

Joe only needed to wait a few hours.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will always be a Buc at heart,\u201d Evans said. \u201cI will forever be grateful for the unwavering support you gave me and my family. \u2026 The bond we built will always mean the world to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Classy move by a classy guy.<\/p>\n
