Mike Evans Expected to Continue NFL Career, Eyes Free Agency Options

Mike Evans is not expected to retire this offseason, according to ESPN's Jenna Laine. The veteran wide receiver, who will turn 33 in August, is reportedly willing to continue his NFL career, even if it means playing for a team other than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This comes as he approaches free agency in March, potentially seeking new terms after finishing the 2025 season with career lows in games played (eight), catch rate (48.4%), and yards per game (48.4). His situation contrasts with fellow Bucs legend Lavonte David, who is weighing re-signing or retiring.
