February 18, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cMike Evans, unbelievable career in Tampa, one of the best receivers in the league,\u201d McIntyre aptly noted. \u201cThis guy\u2019s had 11 straight seasons with 1,000 yards. He\u2019s still very good. He\u2019s not like still a top-5, I don\u2019t know about top-10 anymore. But he\u2019s still very good. I think he could help a contender.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, if you\u2019re Buffalo, you\u2019re getting Josh Allen on the horn, please, recruit this guy to Buffalo. Cause if he doesn\u2019t stay in Tampa, and they have some good receivers, somebody\u2019s gonna get a good one in Mike Evans.\u201d<\/p>\n
Initially, it seemed like McIntyre forgot Evans only played eight games last season, catching 30 passes for 368 yards, falling well short of that 1,000-yard marker for the first time in his career. But he did quickly circle back to note, \u201cobviously, last season, had some injuries, only played eight games.\u201d And that\u2019s where Cowherd\u2019s co-host set himself up for the larger mistake.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, some people are gonna be like, \u2018well, I don\u2019t know if I want Mike Evans,\u2019\u201d McIntyre continued. \u201cListen, he\u2019s gonna be motivated to chase a Super Bowl. Hasn\u2019t sniffed one in Tampa.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s only been five years since Evans and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV. And one could even make the argument that they sniffed a Super Bowl the next year when Tampa lost to the eventual champion Los Angeles Rams in overtime of the Divisional Round.<\/p>\n
There have been some not-so-memorable wide receivers who played in lesser Super Bowls over the years. Some people may have forgotten Brandon Stokley won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens 25 years ago. But we\u2019re talking about the best wide receiver in franchise history with Tampa, winning a Super Bowl with Tom Brady during his first season away from the New England Patriots. That\u2019s one a sports host on a prominent show will be expected to remember.<\/p>\n
