Saturday came and went in Tampa Bay without an extension for Mike Evans\ufeff, but don’t expect the Buccaneers to move on from the wide receiver in the immediate future.<\/p>\n

Despite the two sides failing to come to an agreement on a new deal ahead of Evans’ self-imposed deadline, Tampa Bay does not plan to move the stalwart wideout this season, NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo reported Sunday on NFL GameDay Morning<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Evans is expected to garner trade interest, but the Bucs, despite not even making a contract offer to the receiver, are not inclined to move him, Garafolo added.<\/p>\n

“Teams are gonna smell blood in the water, already circling around to see if maybe Tampa would part with Evans,” Garafolo said on NFL Network. “But I’m told in no uncertain terms that they have told all teams that we are not interested in trading Evans.”<\/p>\n

It appears that Evans, 30, will play out the final year of his contract, his 10th season in the NFL, with the team that drafted him in the first round back in 2014.<\/p>\n
