Jahri Evans released

WillSaints81 · 02-08-2016, 10:14 PM

What I was getting at is people wanted Streif to stay around to help coach Peat and the younger guys on the oline. That to me left Evans out.

Evans' best days are clearly behind him. It's time to move on. I wish him nothing but the best.

cap savings
Jahri Evans
2016 $3,100,000
2017 $6,000,000

David Hawthorne
2016 $2,250,000

Ramon Humber
2016 $901,000

Seantavius Jones
2016 $600,000

about 6.8 mill cap savings

Lets see what we got
Tim Lelito
Mike McGlynn
Senio Kelemete

Let me look at this in a different way
Senio Kelemete
Mike McGlynn
Tim Lelito

Nope still do not see two quality starters at the nfl level, especially in our division. Biggest issue we before the off season was a need at OG and thats before Evens was cut. Litto to date is not the answer. He still has not figured out how to work in the phone booth at the pro level. Stunts still eat this kid alive. His reaction time is average at best. We need some divine inspiration for him because so far coaching has not worked.

If this is what the saints are actually thinking that two starters or even one starter can be had from these three. then plug a hole or holes in the draft they are nuts. oG are not the greatest this year as far as step in and start from day one.

Trade Drew to Houston now. Pick 22 a second and do not get Drew killed

Even JJ Watt made fun of him.

I don't know how you missed it but that happened to most of OTs that Watt faced, it is kinda his thing you know.
Strief was an above average RT this year and the main reason people give him crap is because they don't what the heck they are talking about. Did he have bad plays? Sure but you don't expect any other player to be perfect every play. Most of the problems on the right side happened when Kelemete played RG and got beaten like a drum. You also had plays when the DE was the TEs responsibility on the right side and Brees got sacked, but hey, right side so it just has to be Striefs fault right?

I believe he will get beat out by Peat if Peat works his butt off this offseason but I really hope we'll keep him around because it would provide great depth.

No, I mean Watt literally made funny of him, not just destroyed him. That he did too. I do not see Strief's play as above average this season.

I hope he sticks around as a backup too. He will be a quality backup

I know. He does that to a lot of players.

This is a start. 7 million in savings gives us 2 solid starters. Resign Tim Lelito and Senio Kelemete and let them fight it out for RG. Then, sign JR Sweezy to play left guard. You could get all 3 guards for under the 7 million.

*Edit* Nevermind, just saw after the releasing of these 3 we only have $1,838,494 in cap room.

voodooido · 02-09-2016, 09:07 AM

Ellerbe (5.9 million freed up) and Colston (3.2 million freed up) should be gone next. Morestead (3.25 million) may also be a cap casuality.

Jahri is on our line of fame. He's been a great Saint. We will miss you and look for you when we honor you down the road.

Unless you are gonna start punting for the Saints, Morstead isn't going anywhere.
