\ufeffMike Evans\ufeff has given nine years to the Buccaneers and received nearly $96 million in return.<\/p>\n

He’d like to extend their partnership, but Tampa Bay hasn’t responded in kind — at least not yet. Evans’ agent set a deadline for an extension for Saturday, Sept. 9, but so far, the two parties haven’t neared an agreement.<\/p>\n

With only two days left before that deadline arrives, Evans knows time is running out.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, we’ve been working for over a year now trying to get something done,” Evans said Thursday. “Any player in my position would wanna be solidified and secure. But if the deal is done or not, either way, we’ll be OK. I’m looking forward to having a great season.”<\/p>\n
