Why Torrey Smith even at $5M is not unreasonable...  The upcoming contracts in FA are going to be insane

lololololololol That's ridiculous.  For a guy you have to take out every other series because he's crying.  He throws more tantrums than he catches touchdowns.  Eat that contract, Bucs.  Eat it.

I see what you did there.  Nice.

That’s why it’s better to draft TEs

LG is the next offensive priority, then maybe RB--but another TE weapon would be nice--and another WR only covers up one of the top 3 WRs (Fun, Smith, and Sam). A solid rookie  TE would be a more effective player than a 4th or 5th WR.

Mike Evans is a beast, but I don't care who it is, NO wideout is worth that kind of money. Not even Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, or Julio Jones. Hell, I wouldn't spend that much to sign Jerry Rice in his prime.

A much better strategy is to get a QB who can get average/good receivers producing above their talent level (the hard part) and spend your big money on keeping that QB, putting a top OL in front of him, and keeping your defense strong.

This contract all but ensures the Bucs won't be a true title contender anytime soon. They'd have been better off trading Evans to a desperate team with a lot of cap space (Cleveland, basically) for a combo of picks and maybe a good young player on defense or the OL.

I'll bet he starts suckin...
