New wide receiver trade target reportedly emerges

The 2023 offseason has featured several wide receiver trade rumors, and now Mike Evans has been added to the list of players who could find a new home in the coming weeks. The four-time Pro Bowler is still under contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but could the team part ways with one of the best players in the history of their franchise?

Superstar Wide Receiver Mike Evans Could Be on the Trade Block

The Original Speculation

Recently, NFL.com’s Mark Sessler published an article identifying the biggest offseason priority for every team in the league. When it came time to talk about the Chiefs, Sessler said that the team needs to trade for a big-time wideout and highlighted Mike Evans as a possible trade target.

“Justyn Ross is a 6′-4″ item of intrigue, but Kansas City rests in a unique spot. Player development is king, but trading for a plug-and-play star – maybe Tampa’s Mike Evans or this column’s oft-mentioned DeAndre Hopkins – would keep the Mahomes Machine a step ahead of the Bengals and Bills.”

While a DeAndre Hopkins trade has been discussed at length, this is the first time we’ve ever heard Mike Evans mentioned in this type of talk. There is a chance that Sessler is blindly speculating, but NFL analysts typically hear whispers from around the league that inform this type of guesswork.
