After the Tampa Bay Bay Buccaneers declined to use their franchise tag on Mike Evans this offseason, it looked like he was set to become a free agent later this month. But it looks like that won’t be the case after all.
According to a report from Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, Mike Evans has agreed to a two-year contract extension to stay with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“Still a Buc: Mike Evans and the #Buccaneers have agreed to terms on a two-year deal to avoid free agency and keep him in Tampa, per his agents @DerykGilmore and Darren Jones. From the seventh pick in 2014 to potentially the Hall of Fame, Evans might do it all in a Bucs uniform,” Garafolo said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Mike Evans gets $52 million over two years to remain with the #Buccaneers. A big payday for a player who will be 31 on opening day but continues to produce at 1,000+ receiving yards per season. https://t.co/Tn0eLomcpm

“Mike Evans gets $52 million over two years to remain with the #Buccaneers. A big payday for a player who will be 31 on opening day but continues to produce at 1,000+ receiving yards per season,” Garafolo said in a follow-up post.
Evans has totaled more than 1,000 yards in every single season of his entire NFL career since he was drafted by the Buccaneers in 2014.
