Bucky would be a good choice to take over. If Evans was up for it, it would be awesome if he would take a background role. Cameo every once in awhile. Kind of like Fury.
Theres two major issues with this which goes to your question of 'if Evans was up for it' and they're very real-world issues.

Primarily I understand that working for Disney is a bitch. Their standards and requirements are pretty gruelling among them being that while you are under contract with them they basically own your soul. You are always 'on' and have to abide by their rules at all times.

And secondly that bastard Evans is naturally a slimmer individual, maintaining that shape he needs for Captain America is really difficult for him, similar to Hemsworth, he has to force-feed himself on a diet that I dont think anyone would particularly enjoy and then work out constantly.

The point being, doing that for 8 years as a title character is one thing, but its a big ask for a bit-part and hes probably done with it.

Which is a shame because I really feel that hes killed the role of Captain America, hes really owned it.
