Mike Evans near-move to Bills would’ve tipped AFC East against Patriots

The Patriots reclaimed the AFC East this offseason and are aiming for another title despite Bills threats, but Buffalo nearly landed Mike Evans to pair with D.J. Moore and a retooled defense. Evans ultimately chose the 49ers, citing a contender with a strong quarterback, which would have amplified Buffalo’s offense and made New England’s path tougher. Buffalo remains a threat in 2026 with continuity under Joe Brady, while Evans’ decision averted a potential AFC East nightmare for the Patriots.
