No mention of any injury. Pretty sure he practiced yesterday, would think one of the beat writers would have mentioned it if he hadn't. So what the hell? Quote

sparky151 Posted August 14, 2024 Report Posted August 14, 2024 It is odd. He had a reasonable shot at the last DE spot and even if on the PS, it would pay much better than whatever he'll wind up doing. Quote
Cricket Posted August 15, 2024 Report Posted August 15, 2024 He couldn’t stand the new locker room. Quote

I think its likely Chris Evans days are numbered. I don't see it happening, the McLachlan hype is crazy to me..sure he had a decent game vs 3rd and 4th string guys but that will get you on the PS not final 53. He's not some early round pick that will get scooped up by for by other teams to replace proven vets...he's an unproven rookie. He'll be a tough cut, but a cut none the less Quote

He'll be a tough cut, but a cut none the less I'm not even on the hype train so much, I think we can keep him and let him ride the bench for a year while getting experience so that we're not drafting a TE again next year. This is more about future planning as I don't think Chris Evans has a role here long term. Quote

Many places had him rated more highly than All. Quote

Guys who make the 53 man roster aren't developmental bench riders, you just described a PS player. For the past few years everyone on this board writes off Evans and he keeps making the team. I don't think either player makes it, but I would take Evans over the 5th string TE. 1 Quote

He makes the team and then does pretty much almost nothing all year except ride the bench, seems like a waste. 1 Quote

That makes no sense, he was 6th round pick...which means every NFL team passed on him atleast 5 times and the team that did draft him drafted another TE first. These "many places" were not NFL teams so their ratings are worthless..NFL teams don't give 2 shits how random self proclaimed draft guru ranks prospects. 1 Quote

No you don't, you need blockers or returners, he doesn't do either...he's a receiving TE that doesn't block well... The Bengals don't want to pay Chase so they would do something stupid like keep 5 TEs though. 1 Quote

The Bengals want to pay Chase. Mike Brown has said it time and time again. Quote
