I'm sure he's thinking of climbing up NFL records spots at this point in his career. No better place to do that then with Patrick and our WR group. I think a three year deal would be good, Julio Jones wheels fell off hard and he's four years older at 34. You can get prime years out of Evans for the next two years then deal with a fall off year if it happens. Putting Evans in there probably locks Travis in for another year or two, as well as Reid so you keep the band together. You'll have to sell him on the weather in playoff time at Arrowhead vs Tampa I'm sure but in Vartch I trust.
I think Evans is the first target, go get him.
At some point Evans has to be thinking NFL records books, not beating Jerry Rice or anything, but top 10 in categories.
Right now he ranks 33rd in reception yardage at 11680 yards. Him and Kelce are within 5 spots of one another with Kelce at 11328, so they could climb those ranks together as long as they both stay on the field healthy. With one more 1000 yard season for Evans, he climbs to 23rd in front of Antonio Brown, Hines Ward and Michael Irvin. With two more 1000 yards seasons he climbs up to 16th all time, Travis would be right behind him literally at that point in the rankings. With a possibly 3000 yards in the next three seasons, I know impossible to guarantee, he climbs up into that 7-9 range with the likes of Tim Brown, Steve Smith Sr., Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne but in the top 10 all time. You add a Super Bowl ring or two to that resume, he instantly becomes Hall of Fame, first ballot, no question, playing with Brady and Mahomes as well as doing it with mid tier QBs throughout his career.
Get Evans.
Hopefully nail that WR in the draft like you did with Rice, at least a solid 2.
Travis sticks around.
Reid sticks around.
Figure out Sneed, Jones, Tranquil and Gay if he's apart of the plans.
Done.
