Jahri Evans, one of the New Orleans Saints’ most decorated players and their anchor on the offensive line for nearly 10 seasons, faces an uncertain future with the team.

The Saints were initially prepared to release Evans, according to league sources, as they work to get under the NFL salary cap by the new league year on March 10. However, they’ve recently reached out to Evans’ camp to figure out a way to keep him.

The Saints are at least $20 million over the NFL’s projected salary cap of $143 million for each team next season. They can get close to that number through simple contract restructures, but still face some difficult decisions about what to do with their high-priced veterans.
