Packers sign guard jahri evans.

Last season was different for him - he was an FA and signed with Seattle. They let him go before the season started, Saints picked him back up and he started all 16 games! Seemed pretty odd to me.

I looked up the Saints offensive stat's (passing and running, plus sacks) from 2016. Pretty impressive. I looked up the Saint's depth chart - now pretty young and formidable.

I'm thinking we have a motivated, albeit elderly, starting right guard.

Good signing.

Interesting. Last week I was looking on Walterfootball.com at available free agent guards and he was near the top of the remaining players. Sure, he's 34, but if he has no medical issues and can make the team and help them for a year or two, and they can still develop another guy, and/or draft someone later in the draft or in college free agency. Good move.

old but not a big injury history with him.

I'm a fan of the move.

This guy is done. Literally the definition of stop gap.

They need him in case youngsters don't work out.

Not really a fan, but its a nice backstop signing.

Which they shouldn't need but the almighty fucked up and let Lang walk.

The morning of the draft I look at this move as protection if Thompson can't land a plug and play guard in the draft. Evans can most likely get through the season, at this point you might rather have him than Sitton anyways. Sitton sat most of last season with back problems. Evans is relatively healthy and not especially old for an offensive linemen.

Yes.

Its also Ted's favorite FA period, when the money has all dried up and costs are more reasonable.
