23.7--- At the quarter point of the season, that is what Lee Evans is averaging per reception. It shows that he’s back to making bigger, more significant plays. While he’s only had 14 catches so far this year (in part because Edwards is spreading the ball around so much better) he already has 332 yards; putting him on pace for 1328 yards this season.
Of all the great things going on this season, if there is one thing that is starting to make me mad, it’s that this man has not been extended yet. At this point, I can’t fathom why this hasn’t happen. With the way he’s playing, you would think his price tag is going up weekly.
We playArizona this week and then we’re on the bye. I will be very unhappy if Evans isn’t extended during that two week period. In fact, if it doesn’t happen I’d then be surprised if he is for the rest of the season, which could make for a scary offseason. You DON”T want to have to franchise him and risk making him very unhappy. Look at how much Peters’ play has dropped off due to a holdout and being obviously unhappy with his contract.
Evans has done everything right. He’s been to OTA and Camp, he’s played well. He’s done and he’s said the right things this entire summer/fall.
We’ve already learned James Hardy is a very long way from becoming anything resembling a #1 WR in this league. We need Evans long term here, so hopefully the old man comes to his senses very soon and digs into his pocket to lock this man up.
