Mike Evans has set a Week 1 deadline to receive a new contract from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with his representation indicating the wide receiver will look to play elsewhere in 2024 if no deal is reached.

Evans' representation, Day 1 Sports and Entertainment, said in a release Friday that the wide receiver "wants the next phase of his career to be with an organization who wants him and wants him to help win a Super Bowl."

"Which is why we have informed the Buccaneers organization that we will discontinue contract discussions as of September 9, 2023," the agency said.
