During the few hours or so after the free agency bell rang and before an announcement of Evans\u2019 new contract, a report circulated that one NFL unnamed team was offering Evans $27 million on a one-year contract. It wasn\u2019t the 49ers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Breer told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/richeisenshow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">The Rich Eisen Show<\/a>\u00a0this week that information came from Evans\u2019 camp and \u201cthere were some teams that didn\u2019t believe that to be the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Bucs reached a point with Evans, per Breer, where their attitude was \u201cWell, do you want to come back here or not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Breer implied that Evans had no offer on the table from another team when free agency kicked off while the Bucs were waving their offer before Evans and his agent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cI\u2019d say things certainly got a little weird between Evans and the team,\u201d Breer said of the Bucs. \u201c\u2026 I think everything [the Bucs] said publicly about Evans is true. It\u2019s just it seemed like it had gotten a little weird and awkward over the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It\u2019s rather obvious now that on Monday the Bucs realized how badly Evans wanted to leave Tampa and chase what he believed to be a better team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Oh, well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Joe wonders if Evans realizes the 49ers won six games in 2024 while Brock Purdy started 15 games?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Ira Kaufman Talks New Signings, Maxx Crosby, Reaction To Mike Evans\u2019 Comments To San Francisco Media, And Much More<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Report: Mike Evans-Bucs Talks \u201cGot A Little Weird\u201d March 14th, 2026 Sports Illustrated national NFL insider Albert Breer&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":306599,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[2599,2598,7,6,250],"class_list":{"0":"post-812757","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-bucs-message-boards","9":"tag-bucs-news","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116230293625984892","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812757","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=812757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=812757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=812757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=812757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
