Mike Evans has left the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after 12 seasons to join the San Francisco 49ers on a 3-year deal worth 42.5 million dollars. The Buccaneers offered him significantly more money than that, according to General Manager Jason Lycht with initial reports suggesting around $27 million per year. Lycht called Evans the best offensive player the team ever had, praising him as an even better person, and admitted the departure hit hard emotionally. For everyone involved, Evans wanted a fresh start after a frustrating season without playoffs, plus Tampa's Crowder receiver group with players like Chris Godwin and others, meant fewer targets for him. In San Francisco, he steps in as the top option, leaving behind 866 catches, 13,052 yards, and 100. 8 touchdowns, securing his place in Buccaneers history, appreciation to our sponsor for backing this episode.
