PFT\u2019s list of the 100 best free agents in the NFL<\/a>: Antoine Winfield is No. 7, Mike Evans is No. 11 and Baker Mayfield is No. 15. The Bucs appear ready to keep Winfield by using the franchise tag, but they don\u2019t want to see Evans or Mayfield go, either.<\/p>\nBuccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said today on NFL Network that both Mayfield and Evans are players the Bucs want to keep.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an extremely high priority, obviously,\u201d Bowles said of keeping Mayfield. \u201cWe love Baker. Baker had a heck of a year. He fit right in with us all the way around. The chemistry was outstanding with him and all the receivers and the offense as a whole, so we hope to build on that. I understand the business side of it. Like I said, we like Bake and we hope things get worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Evans will turn 31 in August, but Bowles doesn\u2019t think he\u2019s slowing down.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had a career year last year,\u201d Bowles said of Evans. \u201cHe\u2019s been doing it for a decade now and obviously we want him to retire as a Buc and everything we\u2019re trying to do, putting all our resources into signing him back as well because Mike is great for the community, he\u2019s great for the team, he\u2019s great for the guys and he\u2019s a heck of a ball player.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
