MERGED: Lee Evans Traded to the Ravens

His cap number must be fairly low in order to bring him in and stay under the cap.

Anyone know what his contract situation is? Years left etc.

2 years left on his contract ('11 & '12). Total cash is about $4M a year...$1M salary and $3M roster bonus each year. His contract with the Bills was heavily front loaded...first 3 years paid about $30M total...and they did it without major signing bonus because of Bills' "cash to the cap" policy.

Lee is finally playing for a real NFL team...I'm ecstatic.

Is he Practicing today?

Edit: he passed his physical today. Officially a Raven

With the addition of Evans, the Baltimore offense will be able to spread the Steelers defense out like spreadable butter and eat the Steeler sandwich in 2 bites!!!

Assuming our offensive line doesn't act like swiss cheese.

Oneil Cousins will... my predictions


Oher will excel
Grubbs will be an all pro, but no pro bowl
Birk will have one more pro blowl season
Yanda will make the pro bowl
Reid will have a decent rookie season
we will cut Cousins and sign another Right tackle

As for Lee Evans @ Pitsburgh, Appearently Pitsburgh's best corner is out, so easy passing game for us, if we can find a good RT

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

Peter: Lee Evans is out in the practice field wearing #85. He takes Mason's spot and number. Welcome to Baltimore Lee! #Ravens

Ike Taylor broke his thumb. I doubt that'll keep him out of week 1.

And you think we will have 3 guys on this OL make either the Pro Bowl or All Pro team? Eh..

Good news

Topic of O-line, its important they play better because we need Joe healthy back there, I dont want to see our backup QB in any games this year..unless its a complete blowout

Well the good thing is Joe has been pretty durable in his 3 years here not missing a game yet. Hopefully he can continue that streak this year.

[PurpNBlack22]

I think Grubbs is definitely Pro Bowl material and Yanda has pro bowl potential. Oher has allot of potential too but at LT hes not pro bowl caliber, he is serviceable but not quite pro bowl level unless hes moved back to RT. Matt Birks pro bowl days are gone, hes to old and run down to make a pro bowl (NOT HATING I actually like the guy allot) but if he can stay healthy he is still a premiere player. These are just opinions formed through observations so don't bash plz.

Congrats Baltimore. You just got a great classy WR. Lee Evans will be a stud for you, his talent was wasted in Buffalo with crap qb's and coaches. We are all sad to see him go, but at least he is now on a contender.Always liked the Ravens...now i Love them! I will be rooting for you guys all the way to Indy...Crush the Steelers...i hate them. Trust me, with a true QB which you have, Evans will flourish...now go get em guys...Add one more fan to the Raven Nation.

Thanks, and I think we will crush the Steelers!! haha, cant wait

The price is definitely right with a fourth round pick; everyone got a good value deal. We got the deep threat veteran we needed, and the Bills unloaded a player who has been unhappy in Buffalo for years and whom they no longer think that they need for about the top of the market value they would have seen (pretty sure they would have taken a fifth rounder if the Ravens had been the only interested team).

We just need the Steelers to sign Fabian Washington. We've all seen Evans can score against him.

Well, if we happen to play the Saints in the Superbowl then we can see Evans play against Washington because he signed with them. I guess they were desperate haha.

[Lost]

so we are all in agreement that we are headed to the superbowl! Black and Purple!

well I choose to see the glass half full... our O-Line will be okay after everything is said and done. Ozzie isn't done yet in my view. Should the O-line woes continue for a couple more games, new players will be traded for

[wayne]

People need to understand that Boldins best years in Arizona came before Fitz was there so stop trying to water down his value.

[FerrariFan87]

First pass to Evans is gonna be sweet... can't wait until Friday!

[SecretAgentMan]

Wow, this gives us the best offense in the AFC North... if we can get a RT

Your right about that . Evans is wasted without a better o

Ravens nation...get ready for Lee Evans...you are gonna love him. Our lose is your gain...this is the year Baltimore wins it all...GO RAVENS!

[scrock]

I like Harbaugh said Lee Evans came right in after like a 10 minute meeting and played like he knew what to do already, Lee said he talked stuff over with Boldin and Joe but it sounds like he's picking it up quickly.

Can't wait for preseason game 2...not sure how much our starters will play but I'd love to see Joe hook up with Evans on a deep ball.

I like your attitude haha

I hope we can win it all but I try to keep my emotions in check..or keep my expectations in check, because past success doesn't guarantee future success/progress

I'm hoping for the best though, I think if our OL can get strong we will be good to go on offense, and the defense looks like its going to be really good again this year.

You're more than welcome to hang with us. We have fans from all over the NFL who visit regularly, even from our division rivals. It might be because we don't allow smack. :-)

Welcome to the Forum. I always have respect for you Bills' fans. In the face of some really poor management, you guys have always been steady in your support for your team.

Thanks for Evans too btw. He seems like a class act all the way and I can't wait to see him and Flacco team up.
