Gailey talks about Evans future with the team

Doesn't rule out moving him but seems to say it's unlikely.

“The disadvantage is nobody’s going to have any great stats because the ball’s going to be spread around. That’s what happened. They go over and double cover Lee the first half of the season so the other side gets all the catches. That’s kind of what happened. I don’t know how it’s going to work out next year. I just know it’s a much better position we’re walking into this year than we were walking into last year ona lot of spots on the offensive side of the ball.”

An interesting quote from Gailey about the wide reciever situation.

He has no qualms about Evans' lack of high production because defenses are double teaming him. Their philosphy is to spread the ball around to the players that are open.

And it worked. The question is if a) Stevie can advance to the #1 guy and b) can someone then advance to #2? I think both can happen fairly easily.

The thought is to trade from a position of strength to add a pick or player to fill another position.

But yes, I have no issue with keeping him.

I like that quote about the wr's. Sounds like no chance of stupity at #3 by taking Green.

Lee Evans is no Eric Moulds. I would trade him in a heartbeat if we could find a suitor. We're rebuilding anyway, when we're ready he'll be done.

BTW, think about how many studly WRs there were on the last few Super Bowl winners. The WR position is now the same as the running back position, >A< stud really isn't needed, a few really good players are exactly what's needed.

Wes Welker? Julian Edelman? Hines Ward? I can't even name a WR on New Orleans. Common thread, none of them is a superstar.

We still need a burner, but we can find one of those via the Draft/FA...or we may already have him in Marcus Easley.

Oops, I think I sort of went on an anti AJ Green tangent.

Gailey shouldn't rule out moving ANYONE.

Well, move him for what? A 4th rnd pick? I doubt the Bills could get value for him & Evans has more value to the team than anything they could get in trade. And he will be cheap to keep the next 2 years as well.

For the most we can get for him, if that's a fourth rounder so be it.

He's almost 30 and is no game breaker, so I'd take my chances with the WR by committee approach of the Patriots as I mentioned before.

Unless he can be part of a package to the Panthers for No. 1, although I doubt that.

I get what you are saying but I would pass on a 4th myself. Evans brings something to the table, the fact other teams consistently double cover him. If they keep him this year, the Bills could probably get a 4th next year if they want.
