Mike Evans<\/a> has decided to leave the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Evans agreed to a three-year contract worth $60.4 million with the San Francisco 49ers<\/a>. Evans spent the first 12 seasons of his NFL<\/a> career with the Buccaneers.<\/p>\n

Evans was the third-highest-ranked wide receiver on our top 100 free agents list<\/a>. He was also the 15th-highest-ranked overall player on the list.<\/p>\n

The 49ers are likely to part ways this offseason with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk<\/a>. Evans will join fellow wide receivers Ricky Pearsall<\/a> and Jauan Jennings<\/a>, as well as tight end George Kittle<\/a>, to support Brock Purdy<\/a> in the passing game.<\/p>\n

“Mike Evans\u2019 decision to leave Tampa was never about money,” Evans’ agent, Deryk Gilmore, told our Henry McKenna. “The Buccaneers were extremely aggressive in their pursuit and presented a very strong offer, demonstrating how much they value him and everything he has meant to the franchise.<\/p>\n

“In the end, this decision simply came down to Mike wanting a new challenge and a fresh opportunity while he still feels he has a great deal left to give the game.”<\/p>\n

The Buccaneers still have strong depth at wide receiver, with 2025 first-round pick Emeka Egbuka<\/a> shining as a rookie last season. Veteran Chris Godwin<\/a> and Jalen McMillan<\/a> make up what is still a strong position group.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay also re-signed tight end Cade Otton<\/a> to a three-year deal on Monday, and it also added running back Kenneth Gainwell to complement Bucky Irving<\/a> in the backfield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mike Evans has decided to leave the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
