WR Lee Evans visiting Jaguars today

Wide receiver Lee Evans was cut by the Ravens on March 3rd after an immensely disappointing first season with the team which saw Evans catch only four passes during the regular season.

He was slowed by injury and only appeared in nine regular season games, and finished the season by dropping an end-zone pass in the AFC Conference Championship that could have propelled the Ravens to the Super Bowl.

Still, he has great speed and if fully healthy (and at a lower salary) he can still make a positive impact on a team.  There was talk soon after his release that Evans could possibly be back in Baltimore with a less expensive deal.

However, Evans is now drawing some interest in the free agent market. The Florida Times-Union is reporting that Evans is visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars today. The Jaguars have already signed former Cowboys WR Laurent Robinson to a 5-year $32.5 million deal, but still need more help at the receiver position.

If signed, Evans would be reunited with new Jaguars head coach Mike Mularkey, who took Evans in the first round of the draft during Mularkey's first season as Buffalo's head coach back in 2004.
