Vin+ 3,121 Posted April 15, 2012 Jaguars agreed to terms with WR Lee Evans one a one-year contract. The deal will be finalized on Monday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. At least for a team so barren of receiver talent, we like the signing. Evans' 2011 season is hard to hold against him because he was injured the entire time, and the well-run Ravens liked what they saw on his 2010 game tape enough to surrender a fourth-round pick last August. Unless Evans' skill level evaporated all at once during his injury-plagued year in Baltimore, he should at least have a chance to contribute behind Laurent Robinson and Mike Thomas. You won't want any of them in fantasy football, of course. Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter Can't argue with bringing in more WRs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JetsFan4Life 542 Posted April 15, 2012 I think this will be a good signing for the Jags. He just never really got going with the Ravens, hopefully this move to Jacksonville will help him out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted April 15, 2012 Just what Blaine Gabbert needs. More WRs who can't catch. Luckily the Jaguars won't be finding themselves in the AFCCG anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
That Dude 3 Posted April 15, 2012 I can live with this deal but with all the wide outs on this squad at the moment, who are they intending to release?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vin+ 3,121 Posted April 15, 2012 I can live with this deal but with all the wide outs on this squad at the moment, who are they intending to release?? WRs on the roster: Laurent Robinson Mike Thomas Cecil Shorts Chastin West Brian Robiskie Taylor Price Jarrett Dillard Lee Evans I would think that Robiskie and Price are gone. And depending on who else we bring in via the draft and how things sort out in camp, any combination of Shorts/Dillard/Evans could be gone too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One bad drop doesn't completely reverse a productive career. I wish the Bills would've brought him back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted April 16, 2012 One bad drop doesn't completely reverse a productive career. I wish the Bills would've brought him back. Oh absolutely. I am generally a huge fan of Lee Evans. But he was practically non-existent all year. I am not sure why that is or how he plans to avoid that with the Jaguars, but I do wish him the best of luck. I'm rooting for his success.

RazorStar 4,025 Posted April 16, 2012 West, Robinson and Thomas are the only guys I think have a spot for sure in Jacksonville. Thomas is getting paid like it, Robinson just got brought in, and West was their best WR last year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vin+ 3,121 Posted April 20, 2012 Obviously this is just minicamp, but it's nice to read nonetheless. According to Jaguars.com's John Oehser, Lee Evans looked in this week's minicamp like a player who can be "consistent, reliable, and productive" for the Jags this season. Oehser notes that Evans made impressive catches and moves on intermediate routes that were rarely seen from Jaguars receivers last season. While we believe Evans represents an upgrade in Jacksonville, we're not prepared to draft him in standard-sized fantasy leagues with questionable quarterbacking and playing time.

Vin+ 3,121 Posted April 20, 2012 Nah, this is all due to Blaine cutting his hair. That's where all the suck accumulated. Now that it's gone, he should be alright. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omerta+ 1,206 Posted April 23, 2012 Honestly I rooted for Evans the whole time while he was in Baltimore and will continue to do so. I have a theory on this though. When the bills had him the passing game was less than stellar. With the emergence of Stevie Johnson and the fact that while on the Bills he never got the time he needed to recover form injury it looked bleak. So that made him seem like he was done and truly lost more than what he really had. When he came to the Ravens he was able to rode the pine all off season and then the entire season as well minus 3 or 4 games. So that said his lingering injury should be better than ever. I was upset that we did not keep him because a over a year of recovery should have that man raring to go and I think he becomes the best receiver on the jags and the Ravens regret this. Not in the sense he makes a game breaking play against us but we see his production with Gabbert and we are left wondering what he could have done with us.

56AceInDaPlace 110 Posted April 26, 2012 Jags WR core on paper is alot better then its been since Jimmy Smith played for em. Evans is a good deep threat, Mike Thomas is decent, Robinson is their third down target, not bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
