MERGED: Lee Evans Traded to the Ravens

Congrats Baltimore. You are getting a heck of a player, an even better teammate and a stand up citizen. Lee Evans was completely disrespected here. On a team with a good QB, he will easily put up 1000 yards and around 9 or 10 TDs. Enjoy him because he is a really good WR with at least 5 good years left.

Thanks for the good words....G'luck this year!

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

I'm so damn happy.

[FerrariFan87]

Awesome move! Now OL!

If we don't fix our o-line it won't matter if Ozzie goes back in time and signs Randy Moss in his prime. There won't be any time to get rid of the ball.

You are right but our oline was pretty good last year and we are fielding the same unit so I don't think one game shows the real picture. I do think there is improvement needed of course and some depth signings must be arranged but this trade is a good move for the WR corps.

I hate how 105.7 the fan hasn't picked up the news yet.

Me too. Bob Haney is just prattling along, completely clueless.

[ravens__]

Hell yeah! Now fix the OL and we're set!

Music to my ears. Now we need some OL improvement/help so that we can get Evans the ball down the field.

He'll help greatly with stretching the field against the Steelers.

We got him for a 4th rounder.

Haven't seen much of him, but I hope we got a good deal out of this.

It's a 4th rounder

Bills wound up getting back a fourth-round pick from Baltimore for WR Lee Evans. Big move for the Ravens.

Yea. He did say a few seconds ago "the Bills want a 3rd for Lee Evans, It's not going to happen".

They should be on top of breaking news.

great value!!!!!!!

[PuRock]

That makes sense. They wanted a 3rd we gave them a 4th. He is well worth a 4th.

[POE]

Wow! A 4th round pick for Lee Evans. That's some good value for an above average WR!

A 4th rounder for Lee Evans is a no brainer.

WR1 Boldin
WR 2 Evans
WR TBD

We suck a lot less at the WR position now! I also like that the "experts" are calling this a a great move across the board.

[ravensfan160]

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.

[sozo91]

Assuming Evans is our #2 receiver, who will be the third? Smith, Doss, or Reed?

Beat ya, Pu

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Now that's an upgrade over Mason and Floyd. Let's get some O-Line depth and get Ngata signed.

That whole station is ussually clueless, Pretty much unlistenable now with viv and bulldog gone and whos bright idea was it to give preston 2 hours in the morning. It wont be long before that station is "restructured".

[bdravens]

This is definitely a huge upgrade for the offense. But accordingly to Hensley yesterday, the Ravens weren't pursuing a trade for him. Sounds like the Balitmore Sun needs a new writer...

[jus'_crAzy]

Good lord, his Wikipedia page got updated already.

[Purple Nurple]

Nice move, Oz.

[Ravenslifer]

Like people said, we need to get the offensive line issues worked out or it won't matter who we have at the wide receiver position.

Floyd > Evans

BUT

Evans >>> Cotchery or Mason

Now it really opens up the WR3 competiton
