Mike Evans just signed a new three-year contract worth a base of $42,500,000, with the first year fully guaranteed at $14,300,000. That deal comes with a hefty incentives package that could push his average pay well over $20,000,000 a year. Evans has a strong track record over 12 seasons, hitting the top 10 in receptions once, receiving yards three times, and touchdowns seven times, which lies up nicely with some of these bonuses. The escalators kick in big for later years, like up to $6 million tied to playoff runs and top 10 finishes in catches, yards, and scores. Plus, postseason wins if he plays enough snaps. Overall, this setup rewards team success and is scoring prowess, giving the 49ers flexibility while keeping Evans motivated for the long haul.
