Evans Predicted to Join NFC East in 2027

Former Texas A&M star Mike Evans is predicted to join an NFC East team in 2026-27, with Washington Commanders emerging as the most likely landing spot according to Sports Illustrated.

Sports Illustrated's Conor Orr predicts that the six-time Pro Bowl receiver could be an elite addition for Washington as they build around quarterback Jayden Daniels. Evans, who has played his entire career with Tampa Bay since being drafted 7th overall in 2014, would bring valuable experience to a Commanders offense that ranked 24th in the league with 184.1 passing yards per game last season.

The 13-year veteran is seeking another Super Bowl ring before retirement and has drawn interest from multiple teams including the Bills, Ravens, Texans, Chiefs, and 49ers. However, Washington's salary cap flexibility and urgent need to capitalize on Daniels' rookie contract could make them the most attractive destination for the legendary wide receiver.
