Pierre Thomas on deck. Then Brees. These are amazing days. Do you remember the days when we would screw over our great players and no free agents wanted to come to NOLA to play. Those days are over.

I figured Evans would be close to signing after Sharper re-signed. This is huge. Locked up one of the two best guards in the league long-term. Another great job by the front office.

Hey Canton, you still think LT is worth more to the Saints than RG because of the position now? LOL.

Evans will be making more than three times what our starting LT makes this year.

Good deal, way to lock up our best lineman for years to come

Front loaded, cap friendly after 2010.

Loomis, you are the man!

Look for similar strategy on the Thomas deal.

Good, he is worth every bit of that money.

I think Benson has a little extra cash flow coming in after that Superbowl win.
It's good to see that he is thinking dynasty in this Brees window of opportunity.

I remember when tickets were $12.50 and 1 Million Dollar salaries were unheard of.

Those days are gone.

insofar as contracts at this present moment, QB OT are the most important positions on offense. If your right handed qb has a bad left tackle then the offense suffers Look at KC and Matt Cassell did well on the pats Comes to KC with no solid oline or LT for that matter and they get to pick 3rd in the draft. Bushrod's preformance againts the cowbows should be enough to convince you that Offensive Tackles are valued a lil bit more then guards. Jahari Evans is a Beast And The Best Guard in the league he earned his money.

well done Evans

I like this a lot. Evans is solid if not spectacular. IMO the Cowboys dynasty of the 90's had less to do with Emmit and Irvin as it had to do with that O-Line. They were talented and played together. I bet Troy would say the same.

Wow. That is a lot of money.

structuring was brilliant, and Jahri got what he deserves

Man what crappy way to talk a fellow saint fan. ..dont let this guy get any dirt on you..can you Santini Jr? Oh and great job Loomis on locking up Evans..Im sure Brees is a happy cat as well...

Re: NEWS...Jahri Evans deal?

Re: Jahri Evans has signed a seven-year, $57 million deal with the New Orleans Saints
 
Jarhi got paid cause there is no salary cap next season, Nicks will get his but not at the level of Jarhi's contract. When the salary cap comes back (god I hope it does) then Loomis will have to find a way to keep the core players happy while finding role players again like he's done since 2006

Brees is probably as happy about this as anyone.
