New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl guard Jahri Evans, who reworked his contract this week, is now scheduled to count $7 million against the salary cap instead of $11 million, according to the New Orleans Advocate.

The newspaper reported Saturday that Evans received a $5.4 million signing bonus, and he will get a guaranteed base salary of $1 million in 2015. Another $500,000 comes from a roster bonus and $100,000 from a workout bonus.

Evans also has a $3.8 million base salary in 2016, $2 million of which is fully guaranteed. In addition, he has a $1 million roster bonus due on the 15th day of the league year. His cap number for 2016 has dropped from $10.2 million to $8.2 million, according to the report.

In 2017, Evans is due to receive a base salary of $4.9 million, a $100,000 workout bonus, and a $1 million roster bonus due on the 15th day of the league year.

Evans was selected to the Pro Bowl for the sixth straight season in 2014. He had surgery on his wrist to repair torn ligaments after the Saints’ disappointing 7-9 season.
