Bruce Arians Addresses Mike Evans, Lavonte David Retiring
January 22nd, 2026
So what are the playing futures for Buccaneers legends Mike Evans and Lavonte David?
Bucco Bruce Arians went there today during his visit to FanDuel TV with host Kay Adams, who asked him whether fans will see Evans and David play again.
Joe breathed a little easier after Arians spoke. “I don’t know about Mike,” Arians began. “I think Lavonte probably is going to retire but I never count him out. He goes back every year, sees how he’s feeling and the guy’s amazing. He just stays in great shape. But I would be shocked if Mike retires.”
Joe is not running David out of a job, but he clearly has lost the explosiveness that made him a special player. It’s probably time.
As for Evans, Joe would cry if he retires and it sure seems unlikely after Evans pushed so hard to return to the field late last season.
