It was a busy offseason in Santa Clara, and things got interesting when the San Francisco 49ers signed Mike Evans to a three-year deal. With OTAs starting, George Kittle commented on a post on X that stated it was weird to not see Evans in a Buccaneers jersey, according to Bussin' With The Boys.
Evans has played with the Buccaneers since they drafted him in 2014. Many believed he would be there for life. That is why it was a shock to see the Niners acquire Evans , snagging the talented veteran away from Tampa Bay. For the first 11 seasons of his career, he had at least 1,000 yards in every season. Last season, Evans played only eight games as he dealt with a hamstring injury, and he did not reach the numbers he usually hit.

Evans chose San Francisco because he felt the culture was strong, and he liked Fred Warner . Now, he will also get to team up with Kittle, who is currently recovering from a torn achillies. Kittle welcomed Evans to the 49ers and has been one of his most staunch supporters since the star receiver signed with the team.
Evans leads a wide receiver room that also includes Christian Kirk and returning Ricky Pearsall. Additionally, Kittle returns, along with solid backup Jake Tonges, as the Niners hope for more health after enduring a plethora of injuries that ultimately doomed them in the NFC Divisional Round against the Seattle Seahawks. Evans hopes to bounce back and help the 49ers achieve more this season.
