Would anyone be opposed to bringing back Jahri Evans??

Anyone?

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Does he have any gas left in the tank? I'd rather start developing a younger, hungrier, healthier player and get that young player the reps, snaps he needs than expending them on an older player who's probably not happy with what he's earning...

Nola.com - With Rookie Minicamp Over, New Orleans Saints Begin Making Roster Moves

The New Orleans Saints began making roster moves with rookie minicamp in the books on Sunday.

It could be a busy few days. Last year the Saints cut veteran kicker Shayne Graham after a successful tryout by Zach Hocker.

Here's a running list of Sunday's moves as they come out. It's likely the Saints will not release a full list of moves until Monday.

2:15 p.m.: The Saints signed offensive tackle Tyrus Thompson, according to his agent. Thompson was one of several veterans in for a tryout during the weekend.

Thompson, 24, was a 2015 sixth round pick by the Vikings who spent time with the Jaguars and Lions.

4:59 p.m.: Receiver Jacob Lampman announced on Twitter that he was signing with the Saints. Lampman played at Ferris State in Michigan, where he caught 52 passes for 731 yards and eight touchdowns in his senior season. The East Lansing native was listed at 6 feet tall and 205 pounds in college.

5:20 p.m.: The Saints have signed Air Force tight end/long snapper Garrett Griffin, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle.

Roster Notes:

• Currently have ninety-two (92) players above, the roster limit is ninety (90)
  
• DL David Onyemata has not officially signed his contract, so he's not counted against the roster as of yet
  
• LS Garrett Griffin has not been announced as a signing, so he's not counted against the roster as of yet
  
• CB Jimmy Pruitt has not been announced as a signing, so he's not counted against the roster as of yet
  
• We only have three (3) quarterbacks under contract; we typically take four (4) to camp. Claim on Mettenberger? Trade, Wait for Nick Foles?
  
• Where we looked nice, set for some good battles at linebacker, we now have a log jam at the position; someone is not going to get a good look because of a lack of snaps.
