Low risk high reward?
Former Tampa Bay Buccaneer signs with division rival

Bucs 2nd round pick in 2017 attempts to revive his career in New Orleans.
A name Bucs fans likely haven't heard in a while resurfaced earlier this evening.
Justin Evans, a former second round pick [50th overall] out of Texas A&M, and a once promising free safety for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has signed to become the newest member of the New Orleans Saints, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Edit:
I see that ChrisXVI mentioned this on page 200 of the big A$$ED Free Agency thread.

Safety is a unique position in football. Each one is worth 2 points.

Re: Saints Sign Justin Evans

I wonder what skills he's missing that he would need to revive his career? We've got talented coaches who can hopefully fix him.

Excerpt from the link above:

Drafted in 2017, Evans had a fantastic rookie season. He started 11 games for the Bucs, registering 6 pass deflections, 3 interceptions, and 66 total tackles [2 TFL].

Even more notable than his stats, Evans looked the part. He was long, athletic and rangy. He was a cerebral player. Highly aggressive, but rarely out of control. An impressive young safety with tantalizing upside. Someone Bucs fans had the right to be excited about.
Unfortunately for Evans [and the Bucs], his second season was cut short due to a foot injury in week 15. He was placed on the IR, and due to recurring foot injuries, he was never able to work his way back to full health.
It's apparently a health issue.
