According to Auman, Tampa Bay specifically converted some of Evans’ $14 million base salary for the 2022 season into a signing bonus. 

The Buccaneers are working to re-sign their players so cap space is needed.

Evans, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2014. He was in the final year of his four-year, $14.631 million, and set to make a base salary of $690,000 for the 2017 season when he agreed to a five-year, $82.5 million extension that includes $55 million guaranteed in 2018. 

In 2021, Evans appeared in 16 games for the Buccaneers and caught 74 passes for 1,035 yards receiving and 14 touchdowns.
