Did anyone else see that the salary cap for this year will end up at 255 million? Up from the 242-243 million that most teams were projecting.
Yep, it supposedly raises our cap space by $13m. I think the Bucs new cap space is $43m (+).
Hopefully that added cap will easily help get us closer to the price tag Evans is asking for before FA starts.
Newsflash: It adds to everyone else's cap space too. That means other teams can also offer more.Hopefully that added cap will easily help get us closer to the price tag Evans is asking for before FA starts.

Ya don’t say…. Difference is Evans wants to retire a Buc. I think if Tampa comes in at his asking price of 25 mil he puts pen to paper. Between his loyalty, lack of state income tax, a fan base that loves him, and not having to uproot his family I think if the money matches what he was initially asking for he stays.
All good points, I’d add to your list: a team that can be competitive and get to the post-season. At this stage of his career, he wants to be able compete for significance/relavance. Yes, he wants to make money, but he’s still a Baaad Maaan on that field and he wants be a part of a team that is special, that his effort won’t be wasted.Newsflash: It adds to everyone else's cap space too.

If Mike Evans believes that the Bucs are building that, we have a chance.
bad news for a team who wants to re-sign his starting QB, top receiver, elite LT and Safety!
Or good news for a team needing to sign all of their critical FA’s.
