Mike Evans to Play in 2026, Set to Explore Free Agency

Mike Evans' agent confirmed he will play his 13th NFL season in 2026, planning to explore free agency for the first time, a report also noted by ESPN. The Buccaneers' all-time leading scorer, who turns 33 in August, spent his entire 12-year career with Tampa Bay and is set to hit free agency in March. He was limited to eight games in 2025 due to hamstring, collarbone injuries, and a concussion, snapping his 11-year 1,000-yard streak. Despite injuries, he recorded 30 receptions for 368 yards and three touchdowns. Evans is ranked among the top free agents, with his destination yet to be determined.
