From Rotoworld with Rotoworld comments:
Buccaneers signed WR Mike Evans to a five-year, $82.5 million contract extension.
The deal includes $55 million guaranteed and keeps Evans under contract through 2023. In terms of annual salary, this makes Evans the second-highest-paid receiver in football behind future Hall of Famer Antonio Brown. Evans is coming off a down year in 2017, but still topped 1,000 yards receiving for the fourth time in as many seasons. Odell Beckham, who was drafted five picks after Evans in 2014, could use Evans' new deal as a starting point in long-term negotiations with the Giants.

From Rotoworld with Rotoworld comments:
Raiders re-signed DT Justin Ellis to a three-year, $15 million contract.
Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the deal includes more than $6 million guaranteed. The 335-pound Ellis showed well against the run last season, earning PFF's No. 14 run-stopping grade out of 79 qualifiers at defensive tackle. He's been with the Raiders since 2014.
