The Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders need help at wide receiver, so it comes as no surprise they have a future Hall of Famer who is set to hit free agency on their respective radars.
According to Essentially Sports' Tony Pauline, both teams are considered possible suitors for Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver and pending free agent, Mike Evans.
However, Pauline notes that Evans returning to the Bucs remains a "real possibility."
"I’m told there’s a real possibility he returns to play with the Buccaneers in 2026. If the right deal is struck, though, consider the Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders game as well," Pauline reported.
The Titans and Raiders both have bad wide receivers rooms, and Las Vegas' is even worse. Adding to that, both teams will have a young quarterback under center in 2026, which makes their situations even more dire.
While Evans would be a perfect addition for Cam Ward or Fernando Mendoza, we would say it's highly unlikely he'll land in Tennessee or Las Vegas.
That's because, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Evans has specific demands for his next home, and among those demands is a chance to win a Super Bowl, something neither the Titans nor the Raiders are even remotely close to doing.
"Mike Evans will limit his choices to a handful of teams in part because of his criteria," Fowler said. "He wants a quarterback he believes in, a chance at a Super Bowl, a top-shelf offensive coordinator and the promise of high-volume touches."
While the Titans and Raiders are No. 2 and No. 3 in cap space and can offer Evans just about anything he wants, clearly money isn't the only thing Evans is looking for.
As a result, we'd say he has a better chance of returning to Tampa Bay than signing with the Titans or Raiders.
