The Buccaneers avoided an unfathomable loss when they re-upped franchise legend Mike Evans in March. Not only would it have created a major production deficit on the field, but it would’ve been a blow to the locker room as well.
Evans continuing to be Baker Mayfield’s No. 1 is great news for 2024, as is Chris Godwin’s presence, but the receiver room’s long-term future is definitely murky. How long will Evans remain elite? Will the team retain Godwin after his contract expires after this year? How will 2023 draft pick Trey Palmer develop?
In such a receiver-rich draft, it will be hard to ignore the temptation of top-notch talent.
