Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis shed light on — and lit a fire under — the Mike Evans retirement conversation this week.
While at a Super Bowl LX event, the Patriots' cornerback was asked about the future of Evans, "I know he wants to stay, but sometimes it's a business; it doesn't always work out," Davis said. Based on recent drama surrounding Evans' return to Tampa Bay, this quote could be taken in any direction. After all, Evans has spent his entire twelve-year career with the Bucs. Why leave now?
At the very least, this seems like another tidbit proving Evans will return in 2026, just potentially not to Tampa.
