Josina Anderson reported that Evans' team submitted an acceptable contract structure to the Bucs, considering both Evans' preferences and Tampa Bay's future cap space.

Bucs and Evans haven't communicated recently, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

[{"selector":"#anim-228c9bff-1181-4ab5-8165-f8ac985840e0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8103cdcb-d217-4a2a-a2ce-a1b40b867616","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3c1d8086-3b50-4967-a568-e916145cf48b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

No progress has been made in reaching a deal. Anderson reported Evans sent a good deal framework to his team.

Now it's up to the Bucs to negotiate an extension with Evans, if both parties are still interested.
