Overview
- Agent Deryk Gilmore told NFL Network that Evans started camp in top shape and finished the season feeling better than in several years.
- Evans said late in the season that playing another year is “always a possibility,” stopping short of a commitment.
- The 32-year-old will reach free agency this offseason if the Buccaneers do not bring him back, with retirement still an option.
- Injuries, including a broken clavicle and a concussion, limited Evans to eight games in 2025, when he recorded 30 catches for 368 yards and three touchdowns.
- The shortened season ended his record run of 11 consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns, and Tampa Bay honored him in the finale with a bobblehead tribute.
