The Giants and Patriots have been listed by @BleacherReport as the two potential landing spots for Buccaneers WR Mike Evans if he were to be traded during the season.
โIf Evans doesn't get his extension and appears likely to depart in 2024, the Bucs could eventually make him available. It might not happen early, as Tampa tries to contend with quarterback Baker Mayfield. But if Mayfield flops and the playoffs appear unlikely, the Buccaneers could look to get something for Evans while they can.
Evans will have completed his 10th season by the spring. This means that under the collective bargaining agreement, Tampa can receive no higher than a fifth-round compensatory pick if he leaves in free agency.
Just about any receiver-needy team should be interested in adding Evans, who has topped 1,000 yards in all nine of his campaigns. Given the fact that he'll turn 31 next summer, though, those looking to push for a playoff spot this season should be far more interested than rebuilding franchises.
The Patriots and New York Giants are two teams looking to contend this season that could desperately use a true No. 1 target like Evans.โ
It wonโt be easy.
Might not be right away.
Might be some doubts along the way.
But Jalin Hyatt will be a special player for the New York Giants.
That I am sure of.
