Mike Evans Keeps Future Open Ahead of Buccaneers’ Must-Win Finale

Tampa Bay needs a victory over Carolina plus a Saints win to extend its season.

Overview

  • Evans declined to commit to 2026, saying “we’ll see” and that he will address his future after the season.
  • He is unsigned for next year and the team will distribute 13,000 Mike Evans bobbleheads as a tribute at the regular-season finale.
  • Injuries limited Evans to seven games in 2025, ending his 11-season streak of 1,000 yards and leaving him at 334 yards and three touchdowns.
  • Coach Todd Bowles said the focus is on winning rather than potential farewells as Tampa Bay enters Week 18 at 7-9 after dropping seven of its past eight.
  • Evans recently surpassed 13,000 career receiving yards and owns 864 receptions, 13,018 yards, 108 touchdowns, six Pro Bowls and a Super Bowl ring.
