DONE DEAL Tampa Bay Buccaneers has confirm the trade of another fantastic star on a long term contract

Buccaneers legend Mike Evans is not going anywhere.
Despite widespread rumors that Mike Evans could be chasing a big payout with a title contender, the great wide receiver is returning to the team he has called home his entire NFL career. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Evans have agreed on a two-year, $52 million contract, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The 30-year-old will receive a $35 million guarantee. Tampa Bay shrewdly locked up one of its greatest players of all time before free agency even began, and it can now focus on re-signing quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Mike Evans’ great run continues with Buccaneers
Evans, a two-time Second-Team All-Pro selection and five-time Pro Bowler in 10 seasons with the Buccaneers, remains one of the most consistent pass-catchers in the NFL. He is particularly dangerous in the red zone, tying for the league-lead in receiving touchdowns this past year with 13 and scoring 12 or more in a single season five times.

The former No. 7 overall pick is just six TDs away from entering the illustrious 100 club, an honor that the Bucs can now officially celebrate. He and Las Vegas Raiders star Davante Adams will continue their climb towards the top-10 all-time rankings. Additionally, Mike Evans can pull even with legend Jerry Rice for most consecutive seasons ever with 1,000 or more receiving yards (currently sits at 10).

This massive re-singing first appeared unlikely as it was revealed that the two sides were far apart during talks. However, Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht refused to let this pillar of stability depart Tampa Bay and quickly secured a deal. An interesting wide receiver free agent class just got much smaller.

Deryk Gilmore, Evans’ agent, has claimed that his client’s primary ambition is to compete for the Super Bowl. Although many may question the Buccaneers’ credibility in that final quest, the team is coming off a surprise NFC Divisional Round trip and boasts an impressive roster. This might be the first of numerous moves that set the franchise up to be a major force next season.
