Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is expected to sign a three-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers, according to reports from Adam Schefter of ESPN. The veteran pass-catcher joins the 49ers after a decade-long tenure in Tampa Bay.
Evans, a six-time Pro-Bowler, has been one of the most consistent wide receivers in NFL history. He currently holds the league record for the most consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons to start a career, having reached that milestone in all 10 of his professional seasons. His move to the Bay Area provides quarterback Brock Purdy with a massive perimeter target and a proven championship pedigree.
While specific financial details of the three-year agreement have not yet been made public, the addition of Evans significantly bolsters a San Francisco 49ers offense that already features several All-Pro talents. Evans leaves the Buccaneers as the franchise's all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns.
