The Tampa Bay Buccaneers inked wide receiver Mike Evans to a 5-year, $82.5 million contract with $55 million guaranteed and I had two immediate thoughts.
First, whew that’s a lot of money.
Second, the New England Patriots are going to have a hard time retaining wide receiver Brandin Cooks beyond this season.
Evans and Cooks entered the league in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft and they’ve been two of the best receivers in the league since they first stepped on the field.
