According to Ari Meirov on Twitter, we finally have the guarantees for the San Francisco 49ers’ newest wide receiver, Mike Evans. The initial deal was said to be for three years, $60 million.
Meirov said Evans’ deal is worth $42.4 million, with $16.3 million in guarantees. That comes out to $14.13 million annually. That is 41st in guarantees for wide receivers as of signing. We’re talking about what first-round picks at the position from recent draft classes get.
