Saints reach out to RG Evans to rework contract

Published

on

The New Orleans Saints reportedly have reached out to right guard Jahri Evans about the possibility of restructuring his contract.

Evans, the Saints’ anchor on the offensive line for nearly 10 seasons, faces an uncertain future with the team, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

The newspaper reported Monday that the Saints were initially prepared to release Evans as they work to get under the NFL salary cap by the new league year on March 10, but they recently contacted his camp to figure out a way to keep him. The Saints are at least $20 million over the projected salary cap next season.

Evans, who was selected to the Pro Bowl for the sixth straight season in 2014, is set to make $7.5 million in salary and bonuses in 2015 with a cap hit of $11 million. In 2016, his salary and bonuses escalate to $8.7 million with a cap number of $10.2 million.

Evans had surgery on his wrist to repair torn ligaments after the Saints’ disappointing 7-9 season.
