Rams News: Will Mike Evans be an option?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This is speculation, but sources are reportedly reporting that Mike Evans may want out of the Tampa Bay Buaccaneers, but he\u2019s not ready to retire, yet, and so is there a chance that the Los Angeles Rams could make a move and add Evans?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cOn the other end is Mike Evans, the 12-year veteran who has spent his entire career with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/category\/nfl\/tampa-bay-buccaneers\/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>. At 31 years of age, Evans has struggled with injury in the past two seasons and played in just eight games last year, catching 30 passes. Those I\u2019ve spoken with over the past week believe it\u2019s less than 50-50 the veteran wideout re-signs with Tampa and that his career with the Buccaneers is likely finished. He\u2019d like to go to a contender and win another title. I figured the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/category\/nfl\/new-england-patriots\/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New England Patriots<\/a> would be a good fit, as Evans would be the final piece for their offense, yet people in the know believe the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/category\/nfl\/buffalo-bills\/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_6\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Buffalo Bills<\/a> are the team likely to target the former All-Pro.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Would Evans want to join L.A.? Would the Rams want Evans and or will they be willing to pay what he could demand on the market?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">All food for thought on a Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Thanks for hanging out with us this week, L.A.\u2019s season may be over, but that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t enjoy our weekend! I think we\u2019ve earned it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Please comment on whatever you want and thank you for checking out Turf Show Times!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cIt\u2019ll be a lot that goes into it. It\u2019s a physical, a mental and emotional decision, a personal and a family decision as well. So, we\u2019ll figure all that kind of stuff out with some time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Stafford made clear he is not prepared to reach a conclusion at this stage. At this time, he just wants to spend time with his family before committing to yet another grueling season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">However, Stafford made it clear that his decision, whatever it turns out to be, will not be driven by any negative emotions.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201c58 years and counting it takes time to get over the tough losses. The playoffs is the worst for me: at least in the regular season u can look forward to the next game.. this season for me has had some seriously brutal losses; eagles, whiners( i was at that game), seahawks second game. team won two hard fought playoff games on the road; thiccer kicker was a revelation. Loved 13 personnel!! I hope coach emphasizes it more next year. Now im focusing on Torry Holt getting the HOF call which is ridiculously overdue! But i watched Jack Youngblood wait 10 years to get in: he was a finalist almost every year. And #9 getting the MVP. That would help soothe the pain.\u201d -ramsrule75<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is speculation, but sources are reportedly reporting that Mike Evans may want out of the Tampa Bay&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":716857,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2077],"tags":[211,7,4200,6,704,250,2597,2596],"class_list":{"0":"post-716856","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tampa-bay-buccaneers","8":"tag-buccaneers","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-los-angeles-rams-news","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-tampa-bay","13":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","14":"tag-tampabay","15":"tag-tampabaybuccaneers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115984867979863056","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=716856"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716856\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/716857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=716856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=716856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=716856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
