The Carolina Panthers were a disaster in the 2023 NFL season. Their offense was especially horrid with Bryce Young running the show on the field from under center. But could that offense get a massive shot in the arm this offseason by landing Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver and soon-to-be free agent Mike Evans? Matt Bowens of ESPN has Evans as a perfect fit for the Panthers, whose new head coach, is strongly familiar with Evans.
Evans could follow Panthers coach Dave Canales to Carolina after he had 1,255 receiving yards and a league-leading 13 touchdown catches in the same offensive system last season in Tampa Bay. Evans is still playing at an extremely high level, and he’d be an immediate (and needed) upgrade for Panthers quarterback Bryce Young as a multiple-level target with red zone upside.
Mike Evans A Perfect Fit For Bryce Young And The Carolina Panthers?
Evans has never played for another team in the NFL outside of the Buccaneers, but the temptation to pursue a bigger salary and a better football environment in terms of Super Bowl aspirations is there for him in the offseason. However, the Panthers don’t look like it’s ready to provide a winning atmosphere just yet for someone like Evans. That being said, Evans would be able to enjoy an undisputed WR1 status in Carolina.
In the 2023 NFL season, Evans, with Canales as the Buccaneers offensive coordinator, recorded 1,255 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns on 79 receptions and 136 targets. Depending also on how much improvement Bryce Young shows, Evans could have a better and more productive stint in Carolina in 2024.
But those are all football conjectures for now, as everyone awaits which team will win the Mike Evans sweepstakes in NFL free agency.
