The confetti is still being picked up at Levi’s Stadium after the Super Bowl, but the NFL news cycle has shown no signs of slowing down despite us being in the “off” season. Especially regarding wide receivers, it seems.

The Miami Dolphins have released Tyreek Hill, and the debate has already begun as to where he will end up next season – assuming he recovers from the injury that ruined his 2025 season. While debate is raging as to whether the Philadelphia Eagles will keep disgruntled wideout A.J. Brown, or whether they will trade him (presumably whoever doesn’t get him will begin turning their eyes towards Hill?).

With these two stars grabbing much of the attention, it may have escaped attention that one of the most productive wide receivers of the last decade has decided to hang up his cleats, while a future Hall of Famer seems to be considering one last job before his own retirement.

Robert Woods signed a one-day contract with the Los Angeles Rams, the team he spent five of his 12 career seasons with, to retire as a member of the team. Woods was originally drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2013, and after four seasons he signed with the Rams as a free agent before the 2017 season. In 67 games with the team, Woods caught 367 passes for 4,626 yards and 23 scores, twice hitting 1,000-yards in a season while scoring six touchdowns in a season twice. Since leaving the Rams after the 2021 season, that saw the Rams win the Super Bowl without him as he recovered from injury, Woods played one season with the Titans and two with the Texans. He finishes his career with 683 grabs, 8,233 yards and 38 scores, also rushing 75 times for 514 yards and another five touchdowns.

Drafted a year after Woods, Mike Evans has been quite simply the most consistent offensive performer for the Bucs, grabbing 866 balls for 13,052 yards and 108 touchdowns in the regular season, along with another 52 catches for 801 yards and six scores in the playoffs. Injuries have started to mount up for the Bucs legend, who has missed 12 games over the last two seasons and failed to reach 1,000-yards in a season for the first time in 2025. Many thought that he would call a close to a career that has seen him smash every franchise receiving record, win a Super Bowl and make six Pro Bowls. But Evans has decided he has one more race in him and looks set to continue the career that will surely end in Canton with another team. The thought of Evans in another uniform is a weird one, but there are contenders who might think a year of the former Texas A&M star is just what they need to get over their own hump. The Bills are one, while the Ravens have made a cottage industry of signing receivers the same age as Evans over the years. But where will he ultimately end up? Keep your eyes on this one.
