Mike Evans Leaves Buccaneers for 49ers

0:00For NFL coverage, this is your March 19th update. Mike Evans shocked Tampa Bay Buccaneer's fans by signing with the San Francisco 49ers instead of retiring. The star-wide receiver inked a three-year, $60 million dollar contract to play in the 2026 season after 11 years with the Bucks. Buccaneer's General Manager Jason Lyck shared details from their talks during a recent press conference. He explained that the team offered more money than San Francisco and pulled out all the stops to keep Evans around. Fans feel let down, wondering how the franchise lost such a key player they thought would stay for life. Lyck takes a different view, saying Evans earned the freedom to pick his own path after his long service. Trapped at 7th overall in 2014, Evans became a model of reliability for Tampa Bay. He matched Jerry Rice's mark with 11 straight seven yard seasons, no matter his quarterback. Injuries cut his final Buccaneer's year, short to just 368 yards over eight games. Now with the 49ers, he's set to chase more milestones starting next season.
