Thought for sure Carolina would have traded for him. Makes a weak division opponent weaker, but a possible playoff opponent better.

That's a nice pick up for them, in an off season that hasn't been a good one. They lost several guys they evidently thought they could re-sign on the cheap. I wonder what it cost them. Evans was always a good WR who hasn't had a decent QB in years. Some might say that he still doesn't

I thought this might be one of his landing destinations. Under achiever, hot and cold although he played on some pretty bad teams there in Buffalo. change of scenery might be good for him to revitalize his better than Bethel Johnson career.

For a 4th Round pick.

Evans seems to be a good WR (my opinion) and the trade-off seems to be a wash for me. We know Evans and his play, they know Ochocinco's.

Then again, Ocho and Brady should have a very different dynamic than palmer and Ocho. I'd say we win the swap out (should we meet them this post season).

For all the hoopla the Ravens got a year ago when they added Anquan Boldin, TJ Housmandzadeh, Donte Stallworth and TE Ed Dickson to a roster that already had Derrick Mason, Todd Heap, and Ray Rice catching passes out of the backfield, I thought their passing game would have been a bit more dynamic than it was.

Evans hasn't been anything special the last couple of years, but that's understandable considering the state of the Bills offense during that time. With the exception of that one season (2006? 2007?) he's been mostly steady but not spectacular.

Well, we're not scheduled to play them (pending playoff schedules), so I'm not that concerned. But they do play other potential playoff teams in the AFC including the Steelers 2x, Colts, Chargers, and Jets, which should make for better competition and entertainment. They play Pittsburgh week 1 at 1:00 pm. Should be good.

Evans is an upgrade over Derrick Mason. Good pick up for them.

That was my initial reaction, but Mason is so darn SAVVY. He is the kind of guy that the Pats just give up 12 yard outs all day to. Evans gives them a much needed deep threat, but he's not exactly Randy Moss in that regard.
