With Mike Evans Paying the Price of Protecting Tom Brady, the Bucs Star Calls the Suspension “Ridiculous”

NFL GOAT Tom Brady disapproved of the decision to suspend his teammate Mike Evans for one game. The Bucs receiver was ejected and suspended for his tussle with Saints defensive back Marshon Lattimore. The 45-year-old Brady earlier posted a picture on Instagram to support Evans. He also called the suspension ”ridiculous”.

“I love Mike,” Brady said in the latest episode of his Let’s Go! podcast. “And the fact that Mike would come out there to defend me, it means everything in the world to me as a teammate and a friend. And Mike knows how I feel about him,” the experienced superstar said, voicing his support for his teammate. 

Tom Brady appreciates Evan’s presence

The seven-time Super Bowl winner said he appreciates Evans having his back. He also justified the 29-year-old for expressing his emotion. “So, in the end, emotions are a part of sports. Sometimes they boil over and they obviously did yesterday. And it’s an unfortunate circumstance. I don’t think it deserved any type of suspension. I think that’s ridiculous,” he added. 

The NFL titan also hoped his friend would learn from the experience of punishment. He believes the team can move past it and get to a better place. TB12 also added Evans knows the team always has his back.  

With Evans out; What Next for Bucs?

The suspension of Evans leads to a vacancy on the Bucs’ roster. The Todd Bowles-coached franchise is looking at replacements ahead of Sunday’s clash with the Packers. They identified former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley as someone who can fit in that role.

The 33-year-old Beasley has spent his past three seasons in Buffalo Bills. The reason Tom Brady is interested in him is that the QB wanted a veteran in the pass catcher role. He has now been added to the Bucs practice squad. The rest of the developments will unveil soon as Week 3 promises excitement and fun.
