Mike Evans will return for the 2026 Season

Mike Evans will return for the 2026 season, ending speculation about the veteran wideout’s future.

His agent, Deryk Gilmore, told Rick Stroud, “He will play next season with someone. It could be Tampa, but will definitely play a 13th season.” Evans has spent his entire career with the Buccaneers, who have Chris Godwin, Emeka Egbuka, and Jalen McMillan set to return at receiver.

Evans finished the regular season with 28 catches for 334 yards, missing multiple games due to injuries.
