Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr predicts that former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will join the Washington Commanders for the 2026-27 season. The 6‑time Pro Bowler, a Texas A&M standout and 7th overall pick in 2014, has logged 11 consecutive 1,000‑yard seasons before injuries ended his streak this year.
Washington, building around rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, could benefit from Evans’ quarterback‑friendly play. While the Bills, Ravens, and others have shown interest, Orr says the Commanders’ cap space and offensive needs make them the best fit for the veteran.
