Overview
- Newly disclosed terms award $1.5 million each if San Francisco reaches the playoffs and Mike Evans finishes top 10 in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns, plus $500,000 per playoff win up to $1.5 million if he plays at least 75% of snaps.
- The same structure applies again for 2028 based on 2027 results, creating up to $6 million per year in escalators on top of a three-year, $42.5 million base.
- Yahoo reports the first year of the deal is fully guaranteed at $14.3 million.
- ESPN’s Seth Walder graded the signing an A- and ranked it among the better moves of free agency.
- Evans reportedly declined a significantly higher Buccaneers offer, and he is expected to fill the 49ers’ outside No. 1 role as observers note his age and 2025 collarbone injury as the primary risks.
