Evans says new deal "a lot closer"

[Philagape]

from AP:

Coincidentally or not, Evans was happy to report this week that his slow-going contract talks have suddenly heated up as well.
"We're a lot closer. We have closed the gap," said Evans, who's entering the final year of his contract. "Hopefully, we can get it done sooner than later. But I'm not really worried."

He was probably waiting to see how the team looked (and TE in particular) once the reg. season started.

Re: Evans says new deal "a lot closer"

Maybe he didn't want to sign until he saw signs that he could actually go places with this team.

That would be great news and would go a long way in showing that the organization is serious about winning.

Sign him now. Will he accept ZoneBucks?

Re: Evans says new deal "a lot closer"

I love his attitude about it and how he's saying all the right things to not distract the team. We should throw in an extra million in bonus just for that.

Should that come out of the Miyagi pocketbook?

Oh sure why not.

Re: Evans says new deal "a lot closer"

get it done already,

from the sound of things though, its not going to be a real distraction to him, but the sooner we sing him, the less his price goes up

Yeah, if he keeps playing the way he's playing the price will go WAY UP if we don't get it done soon.

Peters should've hired Evans agent.
