Mike Evans Is Back!
February 17th, 2026
Returns for 2026!
Future Hall of Fame wide receiver Mike Evans is going to play for the Bucs again in 2026.
This fantastic news was delivered by Jenna Laine of ESPN Apparently, Evans’ agent called the Bucs today to let the Bucs know he’s putting on his No. 13 for the Bucs this fall.
Gilmore notified the team Tuesday of Evans’ intention to continue playing and they agreed that Evans will sit down with the Bucs in the coming weeks. They can come to an agreement on a contract extension at any time. Up until this point, the team was not clear if he would be continuing to play or possibly retiring.
So there you have it. As Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield predicted, Evans still had a fire in his belly to play more football and to win.
Now the Bucs can fully focus on fixing their poor defense.
The passing game of the Bucs is set for 2026.
