<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-evans">Mike Evans</a> was born on August 21, 1993 in the coastal city of Galveston in the state of Texas. His real name is Michael Lynn Evans III, but he is known as Mike.



He started playing football at Ball High School in Galveston, where he also played basketball and ran track. He was a standout basketball player in high school, but he ultimately chose to play college football as a wide receiver at Texas A&amp;M University.



In just two seasons at Texas A&amp;M, Evans showed his hidden talent as a football player. He recorded 2,499 yards, 151 receptions, and 17 touchdowns from 2012 to 2013.



<h2>When did Mike Evans’ career start?</h2>



Evans was drafted by the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers"> Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> in the first round (seventh overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft. He started all 16 games as a rookie and caught 66 passes for 1,051 yards and 12 touchdowns.

<h2>How good is his contract?</h2>



Evans has a 5-year, $82.5 million contract with the Buccaneers that runs through the 2024 season. He is an unrestricted free agent after the 2024 season, but it is likely that he will sign a new contract with the Bucs.

<h2>Will Evans win a Super Bowl again?</h2>



Even though Mike Evans has played 9 seasons in the NFL since 2014, he has only played in three postseasons, considering that he has multiple NFL and franchise records that amount of postseason appearances is low for a wide receiver like him.

After three seasons with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady</a> as quarterback, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> will have a new player leading their offense. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-evans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mike Evans</a>, star wide receiver, has shared his honest take on who should replace the legend between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baker-mayfield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baker Mayfield</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-trask" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyle Trask</a>.



Tom Brady arrived at the Buccaneers for the 2020 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. The team had high expectations for him, and he lived up to them by winning <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> LV against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a>.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230626#BUS#17972"></div>


Unfortunately, his next two years with Tampa Bay were not the best. At the end of the 2022 campaign, the legendary player decided to retire, leaving the Buccaneers without a starting quarterback for the 2023 season.



<h2>Baker Mayfield or Kyle Trask? Mike Evans picks his preferred replacement for Tom Brady</h2>



Once Tom Brady announced his retirement, the Buccaneers knew it wouldn’t be easy to replace him. They found Baker Mayfield available as a free agent, and financially speaking, it was the best option.



Mayfield is not the only quarterback the Buccaneers have nowadays in the locker room. Kyle Trask, who spent the 2022 season as Brady’s backup, will fight against Baker to be the team’s starter this year.



As of today, there’s no clear winner of this competition. Mike Evans, Brady’s favorite target, has weighed in on the matter, talking about the qualities of both quarterbacks.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230617#BUS#12984"></div>


“Kyle’s improved a lot. I’m really impressed with what I’ve seen from Baker,” Evans told reporters. “Whoever the quarterback will be, I’m positive they’re going to make the right choice and we’re going to win some games.”

Mike Evans' honest take on who should replace Tom Brady

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> are facing a new era after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/Tom-Bradys-alleged-girlfriend-Veronika-Rajek-reacts-to-his-retirement-from-the-NFL-20230201-0019.html">Tom Brady announced his retirement</a>. The franchise will definitely go into a massive rebuilding process and no one knew for sure if Mike Evans would be a part of it.



Evans has played nine years for the Bucs racking more than 10 000 yards during his illustrious career. He’s been called four times to the Pro Bowl and won Super LV against the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230511#CMS#0008"></div>


However, considering the salary cap, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-star-wide-receiver-would-come-out-of-retirement-to-play-with-aaron-rodgers-20230516-BUS-1373.html">star wide receiver</a> wasn’t a lock to remain with the Buccaneers even with nine straight 1000-yard seasons in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>. Now, Tampa have made a final decision.



<h2>Mike Evans will get contract extension to stay with Buccaneers</h2>



According to many reports, Mike Evans will stay at Tampa with the Buccaneers and he’s going to get a massive extension. It would be a three-year, $63 million contract.


 

 


It’s important to remember that Evans signed a five-year, $82.5 million agreement in 2018. That’s why, entering the final stage of the deal, the Bucs had to retain their star player.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230608#BUS#7687"></div>


Of course, the big issue for the Buccaneers is at quarterback. With the greatest player of all time enjoying retirement, Baker Mayfield seems to be the near future’s choice for the franchise. That’s why Mike Evans is crucial to help on offense.

We’re just stating facts,not dissing him or saying that there’s anything wrong with that. If anything, one would expect a seven-time Super Bowl champion and 45-year-old star to stand out from the rest of the pack.
That’s why <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-buccaneers-tom-brady-shuts-down-speculation-about-his-future-20221025-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buccaneers teammate</a> Mike Evans simply won’t tolerate any Tom Brady slander. The Bucs have dropped three straight games and are now 3-5, yet he claims no one thinks he’s to blame for their shortcomings.
<h2>NFL News: Mike Evans Defends Tom Brady After Third Straight Loss</h2>
“He’s the best to ever do it,” Evans said, as quoted by Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. “I mean, he hates losing. That’s all he knows is winning and being 3-5 is not good enough. So we’ve got to turn it around and soon. Nobody is pointing the finger at Tom Brady. It’s the whole team. It’s a team game.”

<h2>Brady Admits He’s Not Having A Good Time</h2>
In all honesty, Brady looks miserable out there, and we’re not talking about his performances. While his numbers are far from what we’re used to, his body language and temper tantums on the sidelines have fueled multiple narratives around him:
“I think any time you lose, it’s not very fun for any of us,” Brady told the media. “I think we’ve just got to go play better. That’s the reality to solving a lot of issues, to play better and to win. Yeah, I’ve definitely been a part of seasons where we have not played as well as we’re capable, and I don’t think it’s as enjoyable for anyone. I think everyone is working hard to get it right.”
Even the biggest Tom Brady hater should be displeased with what we’ve seen thus far. I mean, it’s kind of sad to watch arguably the greatest to ever do it go out like this. Maybe, he should’ve stayed at home instead.

In an age where everything is documented on video or photos, it’s best to avoid any trouble. Two NFL officials will have to do some explaining as they were apparently caught on camera asking <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/mike-evans-makes-bold-admission-over-trolling-tom-brady-20220705-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Evans</a> of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-buccaneers-tom-brady-reacts-to-ben-roethlisbergers-comments-20221020-0048.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> for an autograph following the Carolina Panthers 21-3 victory over the struggling <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-buccaneers-qb-tom-brady-apologizes-for-controversial-comment-20221020-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bucs</a>.
The NFL CBA is very clear that no <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/buccaneers-tom-brady-puts-an-end-on-his-retirement-rumors-with-a-surprising-answer-20221020-0037.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> referees “shall not… ask players, coaches or any other team personnel for autographs or memorabilia.” The incident in question was caught on film by reporter Sheena Quick and the officials in question have been identified as side judge Jeff Lamberth and line judge Tripp Sutter.
The video shows Lamberth was the one that called Evans for the signature, Sutter seemed to point to Evans where to sign, the player signed the paper or card and went about his way.
<h2>NFL refs appear to ask Mike Evans for an autograph</h2>
The NFL will review the matter as early as Monday, the two officials have not issued a statement or made a comment. Jeff Lamberth has been an official for 20 seasons, while Tripp Sutter is a four-year veteran ref.

But then, just 40 days later, and after watching rival fans celebrate once and for all,he decided that he wasn’t ready to walk away from the game.
Brady’s comeback wasn’t much of a shocker. Oddsmakers still thought he was about to come back at some point, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn’t even waste any time trying to find a replacement.
But as predictable as it was, some around the league were still surprised by Brady’s decision. That includes Bucs star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/tom-brady-has-a-quick-comeback-for-mike-evans-over-600th-touchdown-ball-20211029-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Evans,</a> who thought the legendary quarterback was just messing around with him.
<h2>NFL News: Mike Evans Thought Tom Brady Was Trolling Him About Coming Back</h2>
“He texted me and he sent me an article where his ball sold for over 500 grand, the last touchdown that I threw in the stands against the Rams,” Evans told Ari Alexander of KPRC. “He said, ‘That’s a lot of tuition money.’ I just laughed, and I said, ‘To my defense I didn’t know you were going to retire.’ He sent back a laughing emoji, saying, ‘There’s more touchdowns in our future.’ I just figured he was trolling me. A few hours later, it’s announced that he’s coming back. I didn’t think he was really coming back. I thought he was just playing around.”

<h2>Brady Admits The ‘Competitive Fire’ Will Go Away Eventually</h2>
Unfortunately, though, all good things come to an end, and Brady’s legendary career won’t be the exception to that rule. He knows his time is coming and that he doesn’t have that many years left in the league.
“I had the appetite to compete, and it’s going to be gone soon,” Brady said in an appearance on “The Dan Patrick Show.” “I mean, there’s no doubt about it and I gotta, you know, just really appreciate the time I have left because it’s not a lot.”
Tom Brady has done more than enough merits to be considered one of the greatest athletes of all time. And that competitive fire is what has made him stand out for more than two decades. So, when the time comes, he’ll know.

Bruce Arians has one of the best receiving corps in the league at his disposal. On top of that, the Bucs featurea dominant defenseand a team that developed a lot of chemistry as the year went by.
But more than that, it’s not a secret that the main reason why the Bucs are going to be a huge threat next season is because of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Brady</a>. And, according to star WR Mike Evans, the rest of the league should be worried.

<h2>NFL News: Mike Evans Says The Bucs Are Better This Year</h2>
“We’re miles ahead of what we were last year,” Evans said. “Not just me and his connection, but the whole team—the whole offense. It’s really exciting and hopefully, we can do something really special this year.”
Brady now has a year of experience on Bruce Arians’ system under his belt, which is a scary thought. Evans then talked about how good he feels after a couple of injury-riddled seasons, and the focus he’s done on adding yards after the catch this season:
“I always try to work on YAC,” Evans added.“I always try to work on that and be in the best shape possible because if I’m in good shape and I’m healthy, I feel like I’m the best receiver on the planet. I just try to work on that mainly.”
 
<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-48"> </div>
</div>

Saying that he’s the best receiver on the planet is a bit of a stretch. But there’s no denying that the Bucs’ three-headed monster of him, Antonio Brown, and Chris Goodwin is exciting, especially with Brady calling the shots.
