Evans to Redskins: Start me or lose me - DC Pro Sports Report

Quote:

DL Demetric Evans, who has started in place of injured linemen like DT Cornelius Griffin and DE Phillip Daniels, will be a free agent on February 27 and he wants an assurance from the Redskins that he'll get a chance to be a starter -- or he's leaving for another team.

I think he should be a priority to re-sign. Too often we let guys like him go.

Me too Matt. Even if we sign a young stud DE like Brian Orakpo, heck I would prefer him to start on the other side over Andre Carter for that matter. Evans plays hard and has shown a knack for applying pressure. Consistently? No. More often than any other player on the roster? I think so. If we are going to rebuild the Lines, you can't do it all in one season and Evans could be a time buyer at one spot.

I really like the guy, but I think we have other priorities.

Agree. Id hate to see him star for another team. Lets keep the talent we already have.

MTK · 02-18-2009, 10:47 AM

Evans is never going to be a "star", but he's a solid guy who plays hard and is a capable enough starter. I think we would be wise to keep him and dump Daniels.

SmootSmack · 02-18-2009, 10:50 AM

Let's just be sure not to pay him starter money if we're not going to make him the 16 tame starter, which I don't think we should.

Daseal · 02-18-2009, 11:02 AM

Love to keep him -- if he wants to start, goodbye.

MTK · 02-18-2009, 11:06 AM

Yeah I should say I'm really not interested in giving him starter type money either. I like him as a backup/spot starter but nothing more. If someone out there wants to give him a big payday I think we have to let him walk.

Big C · 02-18-2009, 11:08 AM

imo hes not a starter in this league. hes a backup defensive end who can fill in every once in a while capably. if he is a starter on any nfl team there is a problem imo. let him see how many teams will pay him to be a starter, when he realizes its zero he will accept a lower contract from us

Paintrain · 02-18-2009, 11:10 AM

I'm kind of torn on Evans. I don't think we will re-sign him because he's going to price himself out of our range (especially with Rosenhaus) but I also don't see him going somewhere else to make a Pierce or Clark like impact on another team. He's a little more than 'just a guy' but not too much more.

53Fan · 02-18-2009, 11:11 AM

I really like Evans and would hate to lose him but I wouldn't give him starters money either. If he walks, it gives some of our younger guys a chance to step up and show what they can do.

He didnt say he wants to be the starter (according to this), he just wants the assurance to have the chance to start.... as he should. Anyone who goes to training camp should be looked at as a potential starter...if I went to training camp and had pads on, I should be a potential starter, whoever is best should play.... now if he wants a gauranteed position, or the money of a starter, than see ya later...but I really wanna see this guy back in B & G next year.

I meant to type I'd hate to see him "start" for another team. Not "star"

"I've proven I can start in one of the toughest divisions in football," Evans said this week. "I don't want to be a backup anymore. I started in 2005 at tackle when Cornelius [Griffin] was hurt, and I started at end when Phillip [Daniels] was hurt in 2004 and again last year. I want to stay in Washington, but I want to be a starter."

Sounds like he's saying he wants to start
