As per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Evans' agent has confirmed a two-year agreement worth $52 million, featuring $35 million in guaranteed money, with a team.
The five-time Pro Bowler, originally anticipated to explore free agency, has opted to remain with his current team, the Bucs, where his illustrious career began.
Deryk Gilmore, his agent, highlighted that this deal stands as the largest for a wide receiver in his third contract, with an annual payout of $26 million.
Evans celebrated the agreement on Instagram, captioning a photo of himself in the Bucs' uniform with "Fire Them Cannons!"
General manager Jason Licht expressed his desire for Evans to remain a Buc for life, emphasizing his unparalleled talent.
Expected to be a coveted free agent, Evans' decision to stay bolsters the Bucs' offense and strengthens their appeal to potential signings like Baker Mayfield, who expressed interest in continuing their partnership.
