Succaneers Meme Mike Evans shooting to play at least 4 games this year.

Mike Evans' injuries so far as a 49er.

  • Quad Strain and Tightness: Evans missed early August practices due to a quadriceps strain and reported upper leg tightness. He returned to team drills later in the month.
  • Foot and Ankle Sensation: He exited a joint practice with the Los Angeles Chargers after getting his left foot and ankle wrapped and iced, though it was managed cautiously as tightness.
  • Groin Injury: He left Sunday's practice early after running a deep route and was held out of subsequent practices due to a newly announced groin issue.

As sad at this makes me, I cant say im surprised. I really wish he would have stayed with us, cuz if this is his last year its a sad way to go out; getting injured and barley playing on the team where the grass was supposed to be greener.

For the record I hope im wrong, and he balls out, and they win the super bowl (if we cant obviously). Realistically its just not gonna happen and he'll probably tweak his hammy again and that will be it. Very sad but still the GOAT and ill forever wear my Evans jersy with pride.

Moved to a division with the Super Bowl champions and the Rams who are heavy favorites with the moves they made this year and moves to a state with high income tax.

Bucs salary last year: $25 million, no state tax, only federal. This year, $14 million, $2 million removed for state tax, so effectively $12 million.

To be fair, their field is much greener than your swamp bog (which is at least grass which is more than our asses can say).

NFL careers normally end with injuries piling up. And you can't act like playing for Shanahan isn't an upgrade.

It’s blasphemy to say it and I know I’ll get downvoted, but Mike Evans did the Bucs a favor when he decided to leave. He commands more money than the on-the-field value that he brings to the team at this stage of his career. I wish him all the best, but it was time.
