By the end of next season, Mike Evans will likely be the all-time leading receiver in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history. The good news: He's going to have plenty of time to add to that record.
Actually, it's fantastic news for the Buccaneers. On Friday, Evans agreed to a five-year contract extension with the team, a transaction that was probably the most critical thing the team needed to accomplish this offseason. Just the third player in NFL history to start his career with four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, Evans is the type of homegrown, cornerstone talent the Buccaneers want to build around.
