Mike Evans Confidence in Baker Mayfields Future with Bucs – The Daily Guardian
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is optimistic about the team’s future, particularly when it comes to the status of quarterback Baker Mayfield. Evans recently re-signed with the Buccaneers on a two-year, $52 million contract and now has his sights set on Mayfield.
Despite ongoing contract negotiations with Mayfield, Evans expressed confidence that the quarterback would return to Tampa Bay. The NFL’s negotiation period opens on Monday, allowing other teams to contact Mayfield, but Evans hopes to maintain the chemistry he and Mayfield developed last season.
General Manager Jason Licht has been in positive discussions with Mayfield’s camp, although the process has been slower than expected. Despite some frustration and errors in past negotiations, Evans remains patient and optimistic about the eventual outcome. He also hopes to see linebacker Lavonte David re-sign with the team.
Evans acknowledged the financial limitations of the Buccaneers, understanding how those constraints impact contract negotiations. However, he is determined to build on last season’s success and believes that keeping Mayfield in Tampa Bay is crucial to achieving that goal.
As the negotiations continue, Evans and the Buccaneers organization remain focused on building a strong team for the upcoming season. Stay tuned for updates on Mayfield’s contract situation and the Buccaneers’ plans for the future.
