PROJECTION: $23.8 million
Evans has taken team-friendly deals in the past, but on the other side of 30 years old, he’s no longer interested in that — and rightfully so. Evans tied the league lead for touchdowns by a wideout with 13 in 2023 and had a career year with yet another 1,000-yard season, so he’s sure to be in demand during free agency. This projection number seems about right, as Evans’ camp will likely look toward the contract that Rams wideout Cooper Kupp signed for the 2022 season that features an average salary of $26,700,000. Kupp is the same age as Evans, so he’s a good benchmark here.
