A new, renegotiated contract has been agreed to between Mike Evans and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While a contract renegotiation for Mike Evans is not unprecedented for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ offseason news cycle, it is a little strange that it would occur so soon after a new contract was signed.

Less than two weeks have passed since the team and Evans reached a deal that will keep Evans in Tampa Bay for the next two seasons. The two parties have revised the deal, and the ink has hardly set on it.

The restructure has allowed Tampa to clear up just under $17.5 million in cap space, a considerable amount for Jason Licht and the front office to work with as the offseason progresses.

Questions about where the organization plans to spend the newfound money, can range from potential additions of outside talent (Many in the fanbase have been clamoring for a big-name edge rusher) to the prospect of negotiating long-term deals with some of their own talent.

Antoine Winfield Jr. is currently on the franchise tag. Tampa and their young franchise piece have been rumored to be moving toward a long-term contract since the beginning of this offseason.

Tristan Wirfs is also another name to consider for a new contract as he has outplayed his rookie deal, will be entering the final year of his contract this season, and has established himself as the team’s cornerstone left tackle.

Regardless of Tampa’s plans on how they will use their newly acquired cap space, Jason Licht and Mike Evans continue to put their high-quality working relationship on display.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have restructure the new two-year contract that Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans just signed last week, Greg Auman of Fox Sports has confirmed.

From the looks of the original report that Auman is confirming, the Bucs will be converting a big chunk of his roster bonus to create more than $17 million is salary cap space.

Evans just signed his new extension to avoid hitting free agency, and it should ensure that he finishes his Hall of Fame career in Tampa Bay.

Now, fans will be waiting to see if there’s a particular move the Bucs will be making now that they’ve freed up some additional cap space.
