in the NFL behind Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown at an average annual salary of
$16.5 million.Brate’s contract includes $18 million in guarantees.Evans has
started 60 of 61 games while catching 309 passes for 4,579 yards and 32

consecutive seasons with at least 1,000 yards receiving.Brate originally joined

spent time on the practice squad before eventually earning a starting job in his
third stint with the team.Over the past two seasons, the 26-year-old Brate had
105 receptions for 1,251 yards and 14 touchdowns.Jimmy Graham (16) and Kyle
Rudolph (15) are the only NFL tight ends with more TD catches since the start of

Shaquil Barrett Jersey ,14commentsThe move clears two million in cap spaceEDTThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released veteran guard Evan Smith
following Friday night's preseason game against the Steelers. Smith battled back
from two hip surgeries in the off season, but it’s clear watching last nights
game, that he never was able to regain his form.The move comes as a bit of a
surprise, but the Bucs will now have around $4.4-million dollars in cap space,
allowing them to possibly add some more depth in the secondary
Mike Alstott Jersey White , or along the offensive line. Bruce Arians addressed the need to find a safety during Saturday's media availability, so it
seems that is likely the direction they will go.
