The Denver Gold has reached a verbal agreement to acquire 29-year-old quarterback Vince Evans, the team said today.

The Gold, of the United States Football League, is having to negotiate a settlement of Evans' long-term contract with his last team, the Chicago Blitz.”I'm very confident we'll sign Vince,” said Gold general manager Rich Nathan.

The Gold wants the mobile Evans to direct first-year coach Mouse Davis' run-and-shoot offense.

Evans reportedly will sign a three-year contract and be paid a portion of his existing contract with the Blitz, which has suspended operations for the coming season. Evans formerly played with the Chicago Bears.
