"He's healthy and hungry and looking forward to the next chapter of his career." Evans agreed to restructure his deal last year, which helped the cap-strapped Saints save about $4 million. This year, they needed to shave as much as possible off the $8.2 million Evans was set to cost them in 2016. Instead, they'll be watching him play football somewhere else.

If that is true then he has certainly declined from his prime. |

I guess he didn't learn from Evan Mathis last year, who ended up with a $2 million pay cut

Re: Veteran G Jahri Evans wasn't taking paycut from Saints

Re: Veteran G Jahri Evans wasn't taking paycut from Saints
32, missed 5 games last year, and was cut by a team playing within a win-now window
I don't wish ill on on him, but he made a mistake He counts $5.1 mil against anyway, AND he forfeited another million roster bonus, so he'd need to sign for 5+ to break even, and that's not going to happen |

I want a stud at OG, Evans play was average at best last season. Payton might go FA on the G position but even so I would take 1 in the 3rd just to fortify G.
