Lee Evans cut by the Jags

[Skooby]

I'm not much for previous players but he's looks pretty done now.

Bring him back. I want to be able to wear my two Evans jerseys.

On another note, the Pats are working out Plax today.

Re: Lee Evans cut by the Jags

Will all those fans that got upset with Nix/Gailey for letting him go finally admit that was the right move at the right time?

Of course not. They were spouting pure idiocy last summer.

Fred Jackson wants Lee Evans back with Bills

"I think he can make us better. We have great core guys here anyway, but I'm hoping something happens for him. I'm definitely going to get on the phone with him now, see how he's feeling."

No.

Re: Lee Evans cut by the Jags

Bring him back at Vet minimum to teach coach up T.J.

We seem pretty crowded at WR, though. I think most people want him back for nostalgic reasons but he could actually help out the young guys.

I see his chances at being re-signed around 10%.

No.

Well, you can be wrong then.

Re: Lee Evans cut by the Jags

I'm always wrong. Except for when I say Fitzpatrick sucks.

Re: Lee Evans cut by the Jags

before he was traded buddy in a very diplomatic way came right out and said lee refused to do the downfield blocking that is required in chans system. lee wanted to stay on the outside and not touch anybody and that just wouldnt work here. thats why he cant come back either

even if evans suddenly agreed to block, theres really no reason for letting him do that here. theyve got their field stretcher in graham now, plus its not even assured that lee can be the field stretcher. granted hes not the veteran that lee is, but he can at least force the dbs to back off when they need them to, which was evans main contribution the last several years here

even if he tried to adopt his game, hes thirty one and would have to subject his body to the pounding it takes to set picks/blocks in this basketball/football in the paint offense. could he possible match the eagerness and desperation of the young guys willing to put their bodies on the line every week to get pummelled and free up other players in the offense? extremely doubtful

i liked lee but really he would be virtually useless on this team. if maybin was a free agent id expect him to be picked back up before evans

Re: Lee Evans cut by the Jags

I've always liked Lee but bringing him back isn't much of an option. I mean who else would you have to cut to make room for him? I see the 7 WRs getting kept are Stevie, Jones, Nelson, Graham, Hagan, Easley, and Brad Smith (he counts as one). Which one of these guys are we dumping to make room for a one trick pony?

Re: Lee Evans cut by the Jags

If Jax cut him this early, you'd have to think if he has anything left. He had injury problems last season and at his age may not be able to fully recover enough to play the game. I say pass, let his memories as a Bill remain good without him coming back for a 4 reception season.
