Mike Evans intends to continue his NFL career, though the exact location is to be determined.
The 32-year-old wide receiver's agent, Deryk Gilmore, told NFL.com and ESPN on Tuesday that Evans is coming back.
'He is opening it up,' Gilmore said of Evans' free agency in a statement to NFL.com. 'He will play next season with someone. It could be Tampa. But he will definitely play a 13th season.'
Evans has played his entire career with the Buccaneers, who selected him seventh overall in the 2014 draft. He was a key piece in the Tom Brady-led squad that won the Super Bowl after 2020 season.
Evans topped 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first 11 seasons before finishing with just 30 catches for 368 yards and three touchdowns in eight games last year. He missed three games due to a hamstring injury and six because of a broken collarbone, though he was back for the season's final month.
The Texas A&M product just completed a two-year contract that featured an average annual salary of $20.5 million.
In 176 career games (175 starts), Evans has compiled 866 receptions for 13,052 yards and 108 touchdowns. He is Tampa Bay's all-time leader in all three of those categories as well as scoring (662 points).
