| 0:00.0 | Fast forward to September of this year, and my brain will officially break seeing Mike Evans in a San Francisco 49ers uniform. |
| 0:09.9 | That's right. |
| 0:10.2 | The veteran wide receiver who spent over a decade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to a three-year deal worth reportedly up to $60.4 million with the San Francisco 49ers. |
| 0:24.8 | Wow. |
| 0:25.6 | Very, very interesting. |
| 0:27.6 | Again, I say this with all of these podcasts. |
