Evan, in a couple of years, will be another one of those guys we will have to overpay to keep. Now, I do get overpaying for a kicker is a relative term. But, he will be a sought-after free agent if it gets that far which will drive his price up. He should end up as the #1 or #2 paid kicker on his next contract depending on what happens with Justin Tucker whose contract is up after the 2023 season.
All true, pay the man just the same.
Evan could be the next Justin Tucker and is actually my bet to be just that of the young Kickers in the NFL now.
These types of Kickers are extremely rare and win you games. Clutch, that is what we need more than anything.
We almost had it in the SuperBowl if blocking held up for Burrow.
These guys are clutch, same with Chase, Tee, Boyd and even Mixon late last season and postseason.
