Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr forecasts that the former 7th‑overall pick will leave Tampa Bay and become an elite addition to the Commanders’ offense. The move would be Evans’ first campaign outside the Bucs, after 13 seasons and a 1,000‑yard streak that ended with injuries this year.
Washington, building around rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, sees Evans as a quarterback‑friendly target that could help lift the team toward its first Super Bowl since 1992. Other clubs, including the Bills, have shown interest, but Orr notes Washington’s cap space and roster fit make it the most attractive destination.
