Update: Evans Signs with Niners

[GTripp0012]

I agree that at 2 million a year, Evans is a bargain to be had.

My assumption (an incorrect assumption) was 1) that Evans was going to get a contract similar to the one Antonio Smith got with Houston, 2) San Francisco was going to pay him like that because they see him (incorrectly) as a nice 3-4 end, and 3) We'd be fools to match that offer.

Evans is no less mediocre now than he was yesterday, but if the going rate is 2/4, then holy crap why would we not match? In football terms, that's a half step above free.

I agree wholeheartedly. 2M a year is a bargain and the fact that it would only be a two year deal almost makes this a no-brainer. Since, as a practical matter, two year deals are essentially one year deals where the team has the option for the 2nd year... so the contract benefits the skins greatly. it also benefits Evans greatly because - if he does well with haynesworth by his side, he could easily negotiate a more lucrative contract extension with us in the offseason.

This is a deal that needs to get done. The skins may have actually been wise to not offer Evans a deal and let him test the market. its certainly brought down his price. This is a case where i'm happy to admit i was wrong.

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.

[KI Skins Fan]

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?

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

I know he's pretty good at stomping on cowboys

Redskins Outsider shows that we are interested in Daniels too.

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

Coaches have certain players that they want with them all the time. Daniels is that guy for Blache. But at 36 an coming off major knee surgery, maybe someone should overrule and say let's move on.

Kind of like Buges and Jansen.

Who knows, they may just have the lines of communication open since Evans is a maybe.

I am being lazy but how many d-lineman do they usually carry?

[Paintrain]

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.
