The NFL announced that Mike Evans’s one-game suspension was upheld after he appealed the punishment and now he will officially miss Sunday’s game against the Packers. His role in Sunday’s brawl against the Saints will cost him $62,222, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
He would have lost $715,000 if he hadn’t restructure his contract this offseason and lowered his salary to a league-minimum $1.12 million. All in all, the move saved him $652,778.
Sunday’s brawl started when New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore began to exchange words with the Tampa Bay sideline after a stop.
