Not too surprising of a move here if he wanted to start and in his career with Tampa

Guy deserves every penny

well deserved. Was thinking he might test the FA market, but he's been a Buc his whole career

i like guys that are loyal to their teams

Kind of feel like he should of gotten more but I understand the economics. The guy is a stud IMO.

Solid deal for the Bucs. Always enjoy seeing the stars decide to stay home if the team is willing to invest.

I thought he wanted to play with an elite QB.

Evans is going to go down as an all-time great if he keeps playing

They didn't wanna lose him to free agency. I will say if he got to test the free agent market he would have got a way bigger and contract. Because this would have forced Tampa to match whatever huge offer he would have got from other teams. 26 million per year isn't too shabby either. I think if he tested market he would have got a 4 year or 5 year max deal way over 160 million. You gotta think he took that into consideration. If he Leaves the team he has to sell the house move his family upends his entire life for another 20 to 30 million. I guess it wasn't worth it to him to make such a big move. Good for him. The guys a beast.

A great outcome both for Evans and the Bucs.
