BuccaneersMike Evans Poised to Test Market With Strict Criteria Before March 9 Window

His camp signals he will hear pitches across the league as Denver looks unlikely due to Courtland Sutton, while several contenders are being floated as fits.

Overview

  • Evans will be an unrestricted free agent when the signing period opens March 11, with the legal negotiating window beginning March 9.
  • He has outlined four requirements for his next team: a trusted quarterback, real Super Bowl chance, a top offensive coordinator, and high-volume usage.
  • The Buccaneers met with Evans’ representatives at the NFL Combine and publicly say they want him back, though they appear prepared to let him test the market.
  • Evans’ agent indicated Denver is an improbable destination unless the Broncos move Courtland Sutton, despite the staff fit checking out.
  • The Bills, 49ers and Eagles are widely mentioned as suitors and some analysts predict he could leave Tampa Bay after an injury-limited 2025 season.
