The San Francisco 49ers shocked a lot of people when they were able to pry Mike Evans away from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and signed him to a three-year deal. It's not necessarily the deal itself that was shocking, but rather that Evans seemed like a sure thing to be a Bucs lifer, yet he chose to join the Niners in 2026 and beyond.
Now that he's in the Bay area, the 49ers can work on rebuilding their offense for Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy. Evans gives Purdy an electric weapon, and it's a move fans already were quite fond of but analysts liked it as well.
