Should the Jets Take a Look at Lee Evans?

We have talked at length about the Jets lack of depth at wide receiver. Whether the guys they have are going to pan out or not, remains to be seen. A veteran wouldn’t hurt.

Lee Evans was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday. The question is, should the Jets take a look?

He is 6’0″, 210 pounds, and only 31 years old. He certainly has gas left in the tank.

Here is some video on Lee from his days in Buffalo:

He had some good years in Buffalo, with his best year being 2006, with 82 catches, 1,292 yards and 8 TDs. He is a good target in the redzone as you can see in the tape.

Over his years in Buffalo (7), he recorded 43 TDs. He was a viable option in the red zone, and an able bodied receiver in general, averaging 53 catches per year.

However, I wouldn’t pay a lot for this guy, turn the page and I will tell you about why.
