Lee Evans

The Ravens traded for Buffalo Bills wide receiver Lee Evans on Friday, the team confirmed.
According to ESPN, the Ravens will give a fourth-round pick to the Bills for the deep threat.
Evans' receptions have dropped the past few seasons from 63 to 44 to 37. But he has averaged over 15 yards per catch in six of seven seasons in the NFL.
Evans, 30, is scheduled to make $3.275 million in 2011 and 2012, the final two years of his contract.
“We’re excited about getting Lee Evans,” coach John Harbaugh said. “He’s a proven player in this league and a quality person who will fit in well on our team. We’re all looking forward to going to work with him.”

The move comes after the Ravens' top three wide receiver (Anquan Boldin, Torrey Smith and Tandon Doss) struggled to get separation in the preseason opener and finished with a total of three catches.
Boldin was the only wide receiver with experience after the Ravens released Derrick Mason before training camp.
