Forever a fan of Jason for having guts to sign both Tom an now baker hope Tampa continue to surprise people

[@karenhardie1132]

Nice to see Baker play well and find a home. He made the pro bowl. Hope he stays in Tampa.

[@juanortuno565]

And no more Progressive Insurance commercials.

[@allendenton33]

So long as Jason’s in Tampa. It gives me hope that Tampa will be competitive. Love that man. Seems like such a good dude

[@awaysooner]

Great interview with one of the best GMs in the business to learn the inner working of off-season shuffling.

[@crustylust3490]

Thanks for letting Jason talk!! Great interview!!

[@FuzzyBubbles01]

BUCS will compete for a title as long as Jason is there. I've seen the highs and lows in person going back to the old stadium days

[@stefananthony9874]

Elite GM. Hope he runs my Bucs for a long time.

[@edwardoorjitham7714]

Hope they pay Baker the “market value “ that he requested as a qb that’s taken 2 teams to the playoffs, when most people thought differently. Go Bucs!!

[@tjdmt297]

Mike Evans is without a doubt a future hall of famer

[@timothyfitzgerald3168]

Especially if he stays in Tampa with Baker they're going to be feeding him to make sure he gets his thousand yards and breaks Rice's record. He will also sail up those touchdown record books cuz he's going to get over 100 career TDs this year, too.

[@willzinc6137]

Needs two more solid years and then he's a HoF'er

[@andrewbenton92]

Thank for having the best GM in the league on!

[@snat6299]

Jason is becoming a legend as a GM

[@ChrisCo813]

This guy is the best in the business!!

[@BhBraaq]

You’re getting a lot better at these interviews

[@user-fq6lo6lb3i]

Great intell. Thanks

[@ajanthanthevarajah5529]

Back at it again 😊

[@paulleclaire8252]

Nice!

[@keithcrook8591]

Really like Baker but not at more than maybe 35 million per.

[@bucdaddy5644]

I just found this podcast/ youtube channel. This guy John is a hell of a lot better than Matt matera over at Pewter report.

[@jacksonrichards4127]

Much better

[@user-jn4nf7ln4h]

Give thanks to Colin for my subscription

[@MrTjmadlock]

To many Tom brady questions... focuse on this year team

[@shawnl4445]

Chase McLaughlin, Baker, need center and guard, Baker probably can't afford Mike Evans, need a running back to take pressure off passing game sign most of Bucs own players keep defence strong like Evans but probably not doable little give on his part to retire a Buc fans would be eternally greatfull his merchandise would go through the roof.

[@brutalasbucs9719]

Interesting 🤔 Licht clearly likes Trask... Lots of hope We resign Baker but man that Kyle Trask... Lol

[@brucefulton3628]

He is trying to keep Trasks trade value high
