Could future Hall of Famer Mike Evans be set to join a Bengals' rival this offseason?
The 5-time Pro Bowler has topped the 1,000-yard receiving mark in each of his 10 NFL seasons. He's set to become a free agent for the first time. He's focused on joining a contender.
“Mike wants to play with an elite quarterback in an offense that will showcase him—and be paid like a top wide receiver," Evans' agent Deryk Gilmore told Bleacher Report's Jordan Schultz. "He doesn’t want to play with a rookie QB. Winning a Super Bowl is a key priority.”
The Ravens and the Chiefs are two obvious options. They're Super Bowl contenders, have elite quarterbacks and need wide receiver help.
The Bengals aren't expected to make a run at Evans after they tagged Tee Higgins. They're also hoping to sign Ja'Marr Chase to a long-term extension.
It wouldn't be a surprising to see Evans join a Bengals rival this offseason.
