Washington Redskins

On June 16, 2004, he was signed as a free agent by the Washington Redskins.[4] No only did he surprised observers by making the team, but because of different injuries suffered by Phillip Daniels, he played in 12 games (8 starts) at right defensive end, recorded 31 tackles and 2.5 sacks.

He became a core special teams player in the following years, until 2008, when he was the Redskins best defensive end after playing in 16 games (11 starts), also playing defensive tackle on the nickel defense, while finishing tied for second on the team with 3.5 sacks.[5]

San Francisco 49ers

Evans was signed to a two-year, $3.8 million contract by the San Francisco 49ers on March 10, 2009, to play on a 3-4 defense.[6] After being a reserve player for two years, his contract was not renewed.
