Lee Evans, Cleveland native, is traded by Buffalo Bills to the Baltimore Ravens

Lee Evans is traded from Buffalo to the Baltimore Ravens.

Bedford High School graduate Lee Evans is now within the same division after the Buffalo Bills traded him to the Baltimore Ravens today.

SI.com reports that Baltimore sent a 2012 fourth-round pick to Buffalo for Evans, who’s signed through 2012 at $3.275 million per season.

Either way, the Ravens have to be happy to land Evans. SI’s Don Banks speculated after Baltimore’s 13-6 loss to Philadelphia Thursday that this move could be coming, citing rookie Torrey Smith’s subpar debut (no catches, three targets). Heading into that game, Smith had been penciled in as the starting WR opposite Anquan Boldin, with Brandon Jones, Marcus Smith and a cavalcade of no-names.

The Ravens were in need of a deep threat receiver and Evans fits the bill.
