Despite his best efforts, Evans lacks an offer from the Bucs. If unresolved in a week, he may explore free agency or be traded by the Oct. 31 deadline.
Evans desires to stay with a championship-contending team. Considering his likely future HOF status, he's willing to embrace a lesser role on a team with a strong chance of winning championship.
It's a good choice considering Evans' pedigree & the Chiefs' QB. As seen with Smith-Schuster, Mahomes can build a strong on-field connection with a new receiver, so he is likely to remain productive.
Evans fits the Belichick mold perfectly: diligent, reliable, productive, team-focused, and a past Super Bowl winner. He'd enhance the Patriots' receiving group.
Jones, who loves star players, might consider this move. Having Lamb and Cooks already on board, adding Evans would elevate the Cowboys' receiving unit to one of the NFL's best.
Another Super Bowl contender open to signing prominent players. Evans' success with Brady makes him a seamless fit alongside Rodgers, and he'd serve as a valuable mentor for Wilson.
