Update: Evans Signs with Niners

LMAO... i was surprised to see Evans really isn't asking for a ton.

I know GTripp dissagrees but i think we'd be short-sighted to not sign Evans. I say give him a 3 year deal as he's never been injured and even though 29 has very little wear and tear.

I would have thought he could get more than that since he has Drew on his side and Canty signed for 7 million a year.

I definitely think that Evans and Canty are compareable.

BTW. Huge plus that he left town without a deal. I view that as the skins have the last say in this.

Carter is just flat better against the run than Evans though.

Although I will say in the Power Situations you speak of, that might not be the case.

I completely agree. I think Carter is very underrated as a run stopper. Since his first season here, he has gradually become an all around end. I think because of his size its easy to say that he gets pushed around but I just havent seen that happen on a consistent basis since his first year here.

Haven't we learned anything from Antonio Pierce, and Ryan Clark we need to start keeping our guy's instead of training them for other teams.

This is a deal the Skins should be able to get done. The contract amount and the length of the contract are reasonable, Evans gets to start (I assume) and he wouldn't need to move across the country and start over with a new team to do it, and the Skins-friendly Drew Rosenhaus is his agent. On the surface, this looks good for the Skins.

Yea I think he should resign. Now that Taylor is gone, Evans is pretty much guaranteed to be the starter and he's not asking for much money, so the Redskins should definitely get this done.

Carter is our best DE...anybody else think that is a problem?

Redskins Outsider shows that we are interested in Daniels too.

I like Evans and Daniels because both can play inside and out.

Carter is our best DE...anybody else think that is a problem?

Sounds like Haynesworth can play some DE. He is the best at whatever he plays. DT, DE, K, P, beer vendor etc.

For a moderate deal like that and a need at starting DE I'm good with Evans returning. There's talk of Daniels returning too? I'm not really as sold on him. 36, coming off a major injury, seemingly ALWAYS hurt, what's the draw? To bring back him, Kendall and/or Washington just re-ages us and doesn't really make much sense.

I'd be fine with an Evans pick up and a Orapko or Malaugua draft pick. Not ignoring OT but if we can get 4 young playmakers (Haynesworth, Hall, Landry, '09 draft pick) on one side of the ball that can take us a long ways.

LOL i didn't see this before i posted... did u change your mind or just didn't want to overpay for Evans?

It was the midnight ice cream, helped put things in perspective:)
