PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills receiver Lee Evans has more immediate concerns to address than getting distracted with renewed speculation as to whether he might be traded.

First, there’s the business of Evans re-establishing his place as the Bills’ top receiving threat after two subpar seasons. And that goes hand-in-hand with his second objective, which is helping transform what’s been a perennial loser during his seven seasons in Buffalo into a bona fide contender.

Everything else is background noise. And that’s especially true in regards to the reports Evans acknowledged he’s read suggesting several teams have approached the Bills in seeking to make a trade.

Coach Chan Gailey has dismissed the reports as rumors. General manager Buddy Nix has sidestepped questions, saying there’s nothing to discuss regarding Evans.
