Buccaneers Working To Retain Mike Evans

Feb 26, 2024 8:40 AM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are working to retain Mike Evans, who is slated to enter free agency next month, according to a report.

It was assumed that Evans would hit free agency after the Buccaneers did not offer him a contract extension before the start of last season.

Evans led the NFL with 13 touchdown catches in 2023, while also making history as the first player to post 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first 10 seasons.

The linebacker signed a one-year deal with the Bucs last offseason. David has spent his entire 12-year career with the organization.

David turned 34 in January.

Mike Evans On Track For Free Agency After Extension Deadline

Feb 20, 2024 8:54 AM

Mike Evans is one step closer to exploring a new team after the wide receiver did not reach a contract extension with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday.

Evans' current contract doesn't expire until March 11, but the Buccaneers could've saved roughly $7.4 million against their 2024 salary cap by extending the receiver before Monday's deadline.

He could still sign a new deal with the Buccaneers, but any incentive to do so has expired.

Bruce Arians Thinks Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans Will Return To Bucs

Feb 13, 2024 8:40 AM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers put together a playoff run despite low expectations in their first season of the post-Tom Brady era.

The team will have some decisions to make with Baker Mayfield's one-year deal expiring and Mike Evans set to hit free agency.

"I think he loves it here," advisor Bruce Arians said of Mayfield. "The job he did, I mean, the job Todd [Bowles] did with the new coordinator [Dave Canales], new play-caller, new quarterback and the ups and downs. To be the only NFC team to go to the playoffs four years in a row? That's very satisfying, for me especially.

"To watch everything as the season unfolded, and then to come in December and January to really put it together ... I mean, we came really, really close. One drive away from the (NFC) championship game. I loved the job Todd did and Baker did."

Arians also believes the Buccaneers will bring back Evans, who just completed his 10th consecutive 1,000-yard season.
