http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...n-this-season/Ravens receiver Lee Evans, who has been dealing for weeks with an ankle injury, has provided an ominous assessment of his short-term status.
Per Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times, Evans said he hopes to play again this season. Which implies that his return could still be weeks away.
That 4th rounder we got for him isn't looking so bad now.
Once again - IN NIX WE TRUST
Who knows if he would have gotten injured if we kept him?
One of the few ex-Bills I will always root for.
It is but it isn't. I mean that 4th Rounder has yet to produce anything for the Bills where one could argue despite only playing only 1 game Lee has produced something for the Ravens.Originally Posted by Mr. Miyagi
Why? He gave up on this team but was smart enough not to tell the media about it? I'll respect Evans' play and admit having his jersey but in the same vein he was a one trick pony and will always compare him to Terry Glenn.

He gave up? First time I'm hearing this.
Small-ish receivers relying on speed and over 30, Geez, why did he get hurt and taking long time to heal now?
I know there are exceptions, but if you are running a team, you go with the odds that maximize your team.
On a separate note, I'm still concerned about Jackson at the rate we are using him. He IS the best offensive player we have without question though ...
I think we'd be a better team too but don't think Donald is a POS
Lee never publicly said he gave up but over the course of time he appeared to become more disinterested and and my guess is he mentally checked out on the team and the Bills organization
Evans was a quality person, and I enjoyed his time here as a Bill..
I don't miss him though.
Jones' is a solid depth WR and might develop into the #2 role we've been putting him at in a year or two. David Nelson is also developing nicely to as but what this team does lack a legimate threat not named Stevie in the passing game. Lee Evans wasn't this type either as he's like Jones in great on deep routes but not a guy that could throw to on every 3rd down and expect to keep a drive alive which Stevie can do for the most part. As good as Chandler's been in the redzone if we could find or a quality move the chains/3rd down weapon TE like a Rob Gronkowski/Jason Witten this team could be scary good on offense.
I love Lee but being 4-2 kind of takes the sting out of that trade.
Will always be one of my favorite, pure class act.
well hes not very good, lets put it that way. The NE game was the only day he had done much of anything.
how was he disinterested? He was there for their unofficial OTa's. Even his teammates reacted in a favorable way to Lee when he got traded. I think you guys are making assumptions just because he's no longer a bill.

too early IMo to say he's a POS. I dont think anyone would have really had great nos. because Fitz likes to spread the ball around and lets face it, Fitz isn't a great deep throw qb. It's to Fitz's advantage if he has a wr who is big and can jump for balls since he's not acurate with the deep ball.

What happened? Where are these facts coming from?
The guy was all class here. He was on an ass team for almost his entire career. He never bad mouthed the team, the city, or any individual player. I don't recall anyone on the team saying a bad word about him. He was one of the most exciting Bills players when the team was sooo damned boring.
Even if he did request a trade... **** happens. He's not the first to do it, won't be the last. He did it the right way, and I actually think he deserved to be traded for what he did for this team. He did everything that was asked of him, and when he asked the Bills for a favor (alledgedly) they gave it to him.
The guy for whatever reason never developed chemistry with guys like Edwards and Fitzpatrick both of whom I deem as better QBs than JP and everyone knows that Evans played best with.
Maybe if he did bad mouth the team or speak up the owner or management would have done something? I respect Lee but in the same vein he wasn't the great player on the field that some make him out to be is all I'm saying.

anyone who ran more than 5 yards never had chemistry with Trent eept for TE's first year. As for Fitz he admitted he had early chemistry with Stevie because htey played on the 2nd team together but Fitz leading into camp said he could throw to Lee with his eyes closed. Anyways, that still doesnt mean he gave up on the team. Nobody on the team implied that other than posters here.

Again I'm just stating that Evans isn't the superior player some posters feel he was. Of course I say the same thing of Jim Kelly so maybe I just underrate our players and/or rate players differently than most do.
I'm not arguing whether he was superior, just wondering where you got the info that he give up on the team.
