Will Lee Evans return?

Written by Jeff Wolfson on January 28, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Wide receiver Lee Evans, acquired in a trade with the Buffalo Bills, has one year left on his contract. The question is will the Ravens let him fulfill it or will he be released?

I think Evans will be back with the caveat that he has to take a pay cut.

Evans is a good receiver. He’s fast and makes a good outside pair to go along with Torrey Smith, but he never developed chemistry with Joe Flacco because of an ankle injury.

If he chooses not to take a pay cut, I don’t see him coming back.

I believe, because he knows he has unfinished business after a dropped pass in the AFC championship game, he will take a pay cut and come back.

Candidates Say the Darndest Things

Written by Allen Krause on January 28, 2012 · Leave a Comment
