Evans started every single the past 4 seasons for the Saints and the Saints finding him as a late round gem in the 4th round of the 2006 draft is a big reason for the team's success since the 2006 season.

He received the richest deal given to a guard, averaging $8.1 million per year.

Smart move by the Saints. Looks like people are figuring out loopholes to the restrictions. Let's see if JR opens the pockets for Kalil.

Its not if or of not he is willing to open his pockets. Its about doing it the right way. IMO the right way is NOT those MONSTER signing bonuses the Niners and Saints are throwing around.

I hope we wait for a new CBA and then sign Kalil and others. I know its like playing chikcken but this is the right thing to do.

The Saints aren't throwing around money. Evans was a 4th round pick in 06 still playing on a rookie contract even when he reached the All-Pro level. You have to play your best players. Not bad for a guy out of Bloomsburg

There is no right way. There is just signing them to a mutual agreement or not signing them. Everything doesn't have to be guaranteed nor does it have to be a signing bonus. Roster bonuses aren't guaranteed and don't count against the 30% rule. They become a signing bonus when executed.

If we wait until there is a new CBa we will have a bunch of high priced guys we need to sign. I doubt richardson is going to spend 100 million of his money on signing bonuses but that is what it will cost at a minimum. By waiting you can guarantee that many of the guys like Davis, Kalil, and Moore won't be here next year.

I find it hillarious some (not all) of you bash another organizations handling of contracts. Like the Panthers know the best way of when to reward players.

Can we just agree on one thing? The Taints can lick the back side of my sack.

yup lol

Bears signing Peppers to that contract was dumb

Saints signing one of the best guards in the game to a long term contract(he's only 26, by the way) is smart.

You don't make your best players wait for a contract, that's a real good way to piss them off.

Quit living in the past. That was last year.

Lame. But I will play your game. Who do the experts give better odds to win the SB THIS year? Saints or Panthers? Yeah that is what I thought. Not trying to pick a fight tonight but just telling it like it is. Folks are bashing another organization for signing / rewarding their talent. The Panthers have a piss poor record of knowing how to walk that tight rope so I don't get the bashing. It simply doesnt work.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
