The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... Evans, a nine-year veteran wide receiver who signed a reported one-year deal with the Jaguars Monday, said his focus is far less on what is said than what he believes is his reality - and that's that at 31, he remains capable of being a productive NFL wide receiver. "Thirty-one is different in people's eyes. It's about being able to take care of yourself and stay healthy, and if you can do that, be productive," Evans said Monday afternoon. "Those are my goals coming in. If I can continue to do that consistently, then stats and numbers and things will come."

Evans, who played two seasons for Buffalo when new Jaguars HC Mularkey was the head coach there, became the second veteran receiver to sign with the team during the 2012 pro free agency period. The Jaguars last month signed wide receiver Laurent Robinson from Dallas. Mularkey called Evans "a great signing. ..." Evans said familiarity with Mularkey was incentive to join the Jaguars, as was the opportunity to work with new wide receivers coach Jerry Sullivan, one of the NFL's most-respected receivers coaches. ... Evans caught 377 passes for 5,934 yards and 43 touchdowns in seven seasons with the Bills before being traded to the Baltimore Ravens last season for a fourth-round draft choice. He sustained a foot injury in Week 2, missing nine games and catching four passes for 74 yards.
