Mike Evans, a Texas A&M Hall of Famer and a cornerstone of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is gearing up for his 13th NFL season. Despite battling injuries that limited him to just eight games last year, Evans is poised for a comeback as he enters free agency, ready to remind everyone why he's one of the league's elite.
Last season, Evans started with the potential to break another NFL record, but for the first time in his illustrious 12-year career, he didn't hit the 1,000-yard mark. However, Buccaneers management confirmed on Tuesday that their all-time leading receiver will be back for the 2026 season, exploring new opportunities on the open market.
For fans of the Aggies, the prospect of Evans returning to Texas-whether it's with the Dallas Cowboys or the Houston Texans-is tantalizing. The Texans seem like a more likely destination at this point. Regardless of where he lands, any team securing Evans is gaining a champion, a future Hall of Famer, and a veteran leader capable of transforming a wide receiver corps.
