Mike Evans, a six‑time Pro Bowler and former 7th overall pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has logged 11 consecutive 1,000‑yard seasons before injuries ended the streak this year. The 6‑ft‑6 receiver, who entered the league in 2014, is now entering his 13th season and is reportedly looking for a new team.
Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr predicts the Washington Commanders will sign Evans, citing the franchise’s need to build around rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and the potential to push for a Super Bowl before Daniels’ rookie contract expires. Washington’s salary‑cap breathing room and the team’s desire for a quarterback‑friendly receiver make the move attractive for both sides.
