Longtime Buccaneers WR Mike Evans Agrees to $60.4M Deal with 49ers

Mike Evans signs a three-year, $60.4 million deal with the 49ers seeking a fresh challenge after 12 seasons and multiple franchise records with the Buccaneers.

  • On Monday, the San Francisco 49ers agreed to a three-year contract with wide receiver Mike Evans worth up to $60.4 million, ending his 12-year tenure with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
  • Agent Deryk Gilmore said the Buccaneers' offer was strong, but Mike Evans sought a new challenge after Tampa Bay missed the postseason.
  • Evans' career statistics show he ranks first in Buccaneers history with 866 receptions, 13,052 yards, and 108 touchdowns, and he has six Pro Bowl selections.
  • The 49ers gain a veteran receiver, with Evans now atop their depth chart alongside Ricky Pearsall and Demarcus Robinson, boosting Brock Purdy's targets, as Tampa Bay moves forward with younger receivers.
  • Despite an injury-marred 2025, Mike Evans had 30 catches for 368 yards and three touchdowns, but the deal cannot be signed until the start of the league year Wednesday.
