\t\t\tBruce Arians Addresses Mike Evans, Lavonte David Retiring
\nJanuary 22nd, 2026 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So what are the playing futures for Buccaneers legends Mike Evans and Lavonte David?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Joe breathed a little easier after Arians spoke. \u201cI don\u2019t know about Mike,\u201d Arians began. \u201cI think Lavonte probably is going to retire but I never count him out. He goes back every year, sees how he\u2019s feeling and the guy\u2019s amazing. He just stays in great shape. But I would be shocked if Mike retires.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe is not running David out of a job, but he clearly has lost the explosiveness that made him a special player. It\u2019s probably time.<\/p>\n

As for Evans, Joe would cry if he retires and it sure seems unlikely after Evans pushed\u00a0so hard to return to the field<\/a> late last season.<\/p>\n
