After 11 historic seasons with the Bucs and a Super Bowl ring, Mike Evans is looking for another ring with a new team.
fans that franchise legend could stay with the team after testing free agency, but it appears that it simply wasn't to be — Evans is moving on. Evans played 12 seasons in Tampa Bay and became a fan favorite while racking up touchdowns and 1,000-yard seasons, but he's leaving to try and chase another ring.
Ian Rapoport reported on Monday at the opening of the NFL's initial two-day negotiating period that Evans is set to sign with the San Francisco 49ers, seeing him leave the Buccaneers for the first time in his NFL career. Money was a factor, but signing with a team that can win a championship appears to have been Evans' top priority and he gets that now by signing with San Francisco.With Evans' departure, the Buccaneers will now rely on wideouts Chris Godwin, Jalen McMillan and Emeka Egbuka in the wide receiving room. Despite the impressive depth, Evans was a true X receiver and a verifiable red zone threat, and the Bucs will likely be without one of their trusted offensive archetypes as they move into a new offensive era under Zac Robinson.Logan Robinson is the owner and founder of Gameday Media, covering the NFL, NBA, MMA, and NCAA sports. A graduate of Florida State University with a focus on entrepreneurship, Robinson has been part of the On SI network since joining in 2021.
