Evans sees progress on extension
Though the focus around training camp has been on the holdout by Jason Peters and his desires for a contract extension, Lee Evans and the Bills have had dialogue on a new deal for the wide receiver.
Though Evans stated on more than one occasion in the spring that there was nothing new concerning a contract extension, the two sides have recently made strides toward striking an accord.
"There has been some dialogue back and forth and that is certainly good news," said Evans. "We are moving in the right direction on that so hopefully we can get a deal done. Last time there was some stuff out there, but there wasn't a lot of dialogue. So there definitely has been some progress."
Evans is much further along in his contract than Peters, as the receiver has two years remaining on his rookie contract, but he can void the final year of his contract and is expected to become a free agent after the 2008 season. But the Bills have long considered signing him to an extension a top priority.
I wonder how far along Peters could be if he actually showed up this offseason.
