chaught76 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 This is another player I would like to keep for the right price. He has done his job, give him a reasonable contract. If he walks, I am going to say he lands in Detroit or Cincinnati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie5 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Makes sense to let him walk when he is 5 years younger than Taylor, outplayed him last year, and would cost half as much, at most.Oh, and bring in Haynesworth too for $10M a year, cause were one player away. :gus: WHAT? Ridiculous statement. Taylor was hurt. Taylor at 38 will still be a better player than Evans. Don't be absurd just to vent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie5 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 someone needs to let danny know that just because you pay your players like superstars doesn't gurentee they'll play like them. Judging by the past few seasons, he knows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stophovr6 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Something tells me that if we keep Taylor at his current price, we will be saying goodbye to either Evans or Hall or both. I'd rather keep both and see Taylor off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypien1191 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 WHAT? Ridiculous statement. Taylor was hurt. Taylor at 38 will still be a better player than Evans. Don't be absurd just to vent. Evans had a better year than Taylor last year. Better lineman, more sacks, better against the run. Doesn't matter what the circumstances were. Taylor might be a better overall player, but at this stage in their careers, I'd MUCH rather have Evans for less than half the price of Taylor.

TheLongshot Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 3 million a year is a hell of a lot cheaper then 8 million. And the contracts of Jackson and Buzbee are cheaper combined than 3m. Hell, you probably could add in one more year of Daniels and you'd probably still come away cheaper. Saying that he played better than a player who spent most of the year fighting injuries isn't saying much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Did anybody listen to Vinny's press conference, after the season ended. He said that the younger guys were playing next season. Rob Jackson will have a bigger role next year. He should get every chance to play. Jackson made plays in preseason, and didn't play much in the regular season. I want to see him play. Evans is not a starter in this league. He is a nice back up and thats about it. Evans will be 30 when the season starts. No thanks. I admit I missed that, thanks for bringing it up :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Saying that he played better than a player who spent most of the year fighting injuries isn't saying much. It isn't? Then tell me what does it say when we are willing to drop 8 million for one year from Jason Taylor who played worse then a guy we wouldn't pay 3 million for? Jason Taylors garbage now, you can't look at what he did in Miami because: 1 he was younger and his stats were already in decline when we got him 2 he was playing a different position then what we are asking of him 3 he isn't suited to play NFC East style of smash mouth football You can point to what he did in Miami as some sort of justification for wanting to keep him here but its foolish to say that he will be able to produce like he did there. Looking at what he did here he's not worth 8 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shore-skin Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Not even going to take a side here because i don't really know enough about what demetric evans' talent level is, or how much JT's injury was the reason for low production; but there is something to letting someone you invested a second round draft pick in play a year while healthy...especially while you have plenty of young depth that may be as good as or eventually better than Evans.

pyro281 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm, inclined to say let Evans walk just to give some of the younger guys (Jackson, Buzbee) on our team a chance. I'd rather that than overpay for his services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktball74 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 What if JT doubles his sack total to 8 next year, would he be worth it then? I think this should be re-visited after the season, since JT wasn't healthy last season. I also think that since we did spend 2 draft picks to get JT here, that we weren't going to cut him after one season. The FO wants to get some kind of value after trading those picks away. I'm not going to say anything until I see how he plays this season fully healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm not saying Evans will blow up on another team. But he turns into a Pierce/Clark with another club, its on Vinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shore-skin Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm not saying Evans will blow up on another team.But he turns into a Pierce/Clark with another club, its on Vinny. I know YOU aren't implying this will happen, but a large amount of people on this board thinks that every person we get rid of is one of the most important pieces on our team. I haven't seen enough of him to tell, but the fact that he is 30 yrs old and hasn't already generated a lot of pressure on the QB tells me that at most, he will be an average player for another team. Not someone I will sorely miss even if he does play well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthor99 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I always respected Evans character. Unfortunatley, I believe it's time for him and the Redskins to part ways. We need a big youth movement in both OL and DL in the next 2 years, and he's one of the guys that I wouldn't retain. I think it's a smart move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM916 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 This should work out just like Cartwright last year. We save money if no one offers him more than the minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at what he did here he's not worth 8 million I'll just simply point to the fact that he had a series of freak injuries last year that limited a guy who bases a lot of his game on speed and athleticism. You are right, tho, that we can't project anything based on his past, but you also can't project anything based on last year. It is likely that he won't be playing the same role he did last year and the coaches have a better idea of what he can and cannot do and have an offseason to adjust the defense for him. As for Evans, I don't think he's worth 3m a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyConway Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Letting Evans test FA is the right move. He'll end up coming back for a lot less than what he and Rosenhaus initially asked for. If he does leave he won't end up with a division foe and it will just allow Buzzbee, Wilson, Jackson to get more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZYHORSE19682003 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I appreciate DE, but I think the Redskins are being smart on this one. Let him test the free agent markets to see where is value is. If someone wants to offer him bug money, let him walk otherwise I think he can be had for league minimum.

I'd rather that than overpay for his services. I agree with this 100%. We have seen what Evans can do and he is what he has been. He is a decent role player/ depth guy and a starter in desperate times. Paying him starter money is another step on the road to mediocrity. Let's see what the young guys can do.

jobaga Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Agreed...If we sign him back cheap, great. If he gets a big contract in FA, we get a higher compensatory draft pick. I have a feeling we are going to need all the draft picks we can get (since we value the draft so much) to fill all the holes. 4 Draft picks and a back up OL/DL and a starting LB in FA will not fix the Skins' problems.

da#1skinsfan Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 We cant guarantee him a starting job, he should walk. I could go either way on this one. That said, Evans will have 7+ sacks next year if he leaves, Im guessing 8.5. Chris Clemons pt 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
