    Would you trade Lee Evans for a 1st

    I like Lee but we have larger needs right now.

    This way we have 2 1st rounders. 3 day 1 picks

    1st round 1 pick grab the best OT avail.
    2nd round 1 pick grab the best playmaker LB avail

    Round 2 pick grab a QB like Pike or Locker.

          no............TO and Reed are UFA after the season. We would have no WRs for a young QB

            I dont think Lee is the problem to be honest with you. Its not his fault he is never thrown to, and if he is it is three yards from the line of scrimmage with tight coverage.

              I'd do it for Oakland's 2nd + Louis Murphy.

                  I dont think Oakland has a first, didnt they trade it for Seymore?

                    If I did it would be out of pity for him...such a waste of talent.

                    In all seriousness, no. Next season if things play out right, we'll need his leadership with hopefully an overhauled and young roster. I think he'll be fine with some new coaching and a new QB.

                      No. Our front office is mediocre at drafting players, so there is no guarantee that whoever they drafted would be useful, much less as good as Evans.

                      Once again, we have a ton of holes; I'm not sure why some of you insist on wanting to create more by getting rid of the few players on the team who aren't awful.

                      Also, like someone said before, he's virtually untradeable due to the fact that he is very overpaid.

                        Don't be so sure.

                        His contract really isn't that bad after this season. In 2008, he signed a 4 year, $37 million extension. In '08, his salary was almost $12 mil, with another $3 in incentives that he probably didn't reach. The rest of his salary looks like this:

                        2009 - $9 million
                        2010 - $5.4 million + $3 million roster bonus
                        2011 - $3 million + $1 million roster bonus
                        2012 - $3 million + $1 million roster bonus

                        So if a team trades for him after this week's game, we'll have paid him $3.375 for the season, while the other team will pick up the remaining $5.625.

                        So the team that trades for Lee would get him for 4 years, $22 million. That's not very much at all.

                          What will Evans get: 800 yds 3 TDs. Plug in Hardy, Johnson, Reed. Try to keep TO. We have cap room, Breaston, Vincent Jackson, Antonio Bryant are all Free Agents.

                            Evans is a one trick pony. We can get anybody to run down the sideline really fast, and never go over the middle.

                              I think they gave their 2011 first for Seymore. But I can't see them trading a 1st for a WR since they just drafted a WR at #7.
