INDIANAPOLIS -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are actively working towards re-signing five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans, even if it puts a strain on their finances to do so.

"He's an unprecedented player. We want him to be a Buc for life. We're working towards that," general manager Jason Licht said Tuesday at the NFL combine. "Obviously it takes two sides. I know he wants to be a Buc. We'll probably have to strain a little bit but we're working towards that right now."

The Bucs have had ongoing discussions with Evans' agent Deryk Gilmore since the season ended, but those are expected to heat up this week with free agency looming.
