Longtime Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has reached an agreement to join the San Francisco 49ers, according to a report from @AdamSchefter. The move concludes a historic 12-season tenure for Evans in Tampa Bay that spanned from 2014 through 2025.
Following the news of the agreement, Evans' longtime teammate Chris Godwin took to social media to react to the departure. Godwin and Evans formed one of the NFL's most prolific receiving tandems, helping lead the Buccaneers to a victory in Super Bowl LV. Godwin’s post underscores the significant impact of Evans leaving the only franchise he has known since being drafted.
Evans joins a San Francisco 49ers roster that is coming off a Super Bowl appearance. He brings an unprecedented resume to the Bay Area, including an NFL-record 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to start a career. Evans departs the Buccaneers as the franchise's all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns.
