    this is from 2 years ago, so prices have gone up some

    but this was the highest paid practice squad player in the nfl for the 2015 season

    http://www.turfshowtimes.com/2015/10...-isaiah-battle

    he made 25,600 a week, times 17 weeks= 435,000, so that would be around your very, VERY top end for PS guys

    the cowboys did this last year

    the guy made $10 less then he would have made making the minimum on the active roster

    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.

    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.

    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.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    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.

    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.
