ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports the team has no plans on trading the 30-year-old star receiver. There has been no contact between the Buccaneers and Evans’ camp regarding an extension reportedly.
The #Bucs do not plan to trade Mike Evans, per sources. He’s GM Jason Licht’s first draft pick in Tampa and a pillar there on and off the field.

As it stands Evans might be playing his last season as a Buccaneer. This is obviously frustrating for the Buccaneers’ faithful. The thought of Evans wearing another team’s uniform just doesn’t seem right. But at the end of the day, this is a business.
