Evans to Bills? Bucs Star Predicted to Join Buffalo
25 Jan
Summary
- Mike Evans, a former Pro Bowler, faces an uncertain future with the Buccaneers.
- Buffalo Bills are identified as a potential landing spot for the veteran receiver.
- Evans is projected to sign a short-term deal worth $13 million annually.
Mike Evans, a notable figure for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is projected to leave the team this offseason as he heads into free agency. The veteran wide receiver, a six-time Pro Bowler, played in only eight games during the 2025 season due to a collarbone injury, recording 30 receptions for 368 yards and three touchdowns. Despite the setback, his history includes 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons from 2014 to 2024.
According to Pro Football Focus, the Buffalo Bills are a strong potential destination for Evans. The Bills have a need for depth at outside receiver and struggled with deep threat opportunities in 2025. Evans could provide a significant upgrade for quarterback Josh Allen, especially as a red zone threat. His projected contract is a short-term deal around $13 million annually, a price point Buffalo may be able to afford by adjusting their salary cap.
The Bills are estimated to be nearly $14 million under the cap for the upcoming offseason. General manager Brandon Beane has the flexibility to create additional cap space through contract restructures and player releases. If Buffalo secures the necessary funds, signing Evans is seen as a sensible move to bolster Allen's arsenal of weapons.
