Something i notcied about :Lee Evans

[BillsOwnAll]

Ive noticed that whenever the bills score a TD. He is the first with his hands up celebrating congratulating the person who scored. He seems to be a very unselfish player. Some receivers feel like its not as sweet when another wide out scores, but i sense evans wants the TEAM to score. Not just him. A true team player.

Thoughts?

And here I thought Evans has just disappeared for most of the year. It's nice to see that he is actually on the field doing something.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

I noticed this as well, even on a contract year.

3 games, 12 Rec., 244 yards, 0 Tds, 1 fumble, 1 help cause INT.

Star Wide Reciever numbers. Yeah, I am really being sarcastic.

Who said anything about "star WR"?

Now Evans is not a star? So are you saying he doesn't deserve a huge contract? Should the Bills pay Evans the way you say Peters should be paid?

You don't need to be a star to get a huge contract nowadays. Look at Bernard Berrian, who signed a $40-plus million contract with the Vikings in the offseason. Evans has put up much better numbers than Berrian during his career, so he's obviously going to get a substantial contract. Is he a star? No. Can I win a lot of games with him at the forefront of my receiving corps? Yeah, probably.

The Vikings were stupid. They could have Jerry Rice and Andre Reed playing WR. It wouldn't matter. Their QB's suck.

He'll likely get something in the neighborhood of Berrian's contract, that's not to say that he's necessarily "worth it" but it's hard to fault the guy considering the type of play we've had at QB the past few years.

I'll still stand by my "the reason Hardy was drafted was to replace Evans" statement.

[TrEd FTW]

Stupid or not, the Vikings set the market. Now Evans can't possibly get less than a player he's much better than.

Wrong....

Exactly. The Raiders **** up the market that way all the time by signing guys like Tommy Kelly and Javon Walker to ridiculous contracts.

[TacklingDummy]

Wrong....

Is Evans signed yet?

[gr8slayer]

Is Evans signed yet?
Who's to say that he won't be? They are still in talks according to he and his agent.

I suppose these guys are all average?

Exactly. The Raiders **** up the market that way all the time by signing guys like Tommy Kelly and Javon Walker to ridiculous contracts.

Just because teams like Vikings/Raiders overpaid doesn't mean the small market Buffalo Bills will. And going by Peters/Evans contract situations the Bills won't be forced to do so.

Who's to say that he won't be? They are still in talks according to he and his agent.
Until he is signed, he's not signed. Anything can happen.

I got to run, have stuff to do with the family before the game starts.

Have fun :up:

[TrEd FTW]

So who's the downfield threat if Evans isn't around anymore? Hardy's a 4.5 guy; he's not a burner. Parrish has all the speed in the world but has never been much of a downfield weapon as a receiver. You lose Evans, your WR corps looks pretty bad and you're going into the 2009 draft with an unnecessary hole to patch.

Get him signed or regret it.

[Pinkerton Security]

I suppose these guys are all average?
