Mike Evans: 'Extremely Confident' Baker Mayfield, Bucs Will Reach Contract in NFL FA

Wide receiver Mike Evans, who re-signed Friday with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, says he is "extremely confident" free agent quarterback Baker Mayfield will do the same.

"I mean, I'm extremely confident," Evans said Friday, according to ESPN's Jenna Laine. "I'm not 100 percent, but he played really great for us last year, the city took him in, the players loved him— hopefully we get him back. But he should do what's best for him."

Evans agreed to a two-year, $52 million deal with $35 million guaranteed, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. He worked well with Mayfield in 2023 as he led the Bucs with 136 targets.
