Mike Evans News
Thursday, March 12, 12:23 PM
New San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans is expected to "step in right away as the X receiver" and provide leadership for a wideout group that doesn't have much experience, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Evan's "red-zone and tight-window acumen" should translate quickly into head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense in 2026. The 32-year-old future Hall of Famer had 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before breaking that streak last year when he played in only eight games due to collarbone and hamstring injuries. Evans has scored double-digit touchdowns in six of his 12 seasons in the league, and his 27 TDs on tight-window throws over the last 10 seasons are six more than the next closest player, according to Next Gen Stats. While Evans is nearing the end of his career, his landing spot in the Bay Area could be the best chance he has for a 12th 1,000-yard season. The Niners swooped on Evans earlier this week and signed him to a three-year, $42.4 million contract that could reach $60.4 million through incentives.

Jaylen Waddle News
Tuesday, March 24, 7:19 AM
The Denver Broncos restructured wide receiver Jaylen Waddle's contract on Tuesday to convert $15.416 million of an option bonus into a signing bonus for salary cap purposes, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Waddle's new salary is at $1.215 million. The move frees up $7.961 million in cap space for this season. The Broncos might not be done yet after making a big move recently to acquire Waddle from the Dolphins in exchange for three draft picks, including their first-rounder next month. The 27-year-old former sixth overall pick by Miami in the 2021 draft out of Alabama immediately is a boost to Denver's passing attack, and he could lead the team in targets and production in 2026 as one of quarterback Bo Nix's favorite targets over the short and middle areas of the field. Waddle produced 1,000-yard seasons in his first three years in the NFL and could get back to that mark if he stays healthy in his first year in Denver.
