Apparently the on-roster replacements weren't enough - Jahri Evans signing

Something isn't right here

How did he play last year?

And why was he cut by Seattle last year before the regular season. I get why the saint first cut him, he was expensive, but he was only counting a million against the cap in Seattle, that's cheap even for a backup

Sure he was once awesome, but is he any good anymore?

Yeah, lets hope that's all true, sounds like he played well last year

And I'm guessing he isn't costing much more then a million bucks

So even if he doesn't work out, we aren't out much

Looks like a good move, and hopefully means we don't have to draft a guard on the first two days

Worst case scenario is that he adds the solid vet backup depth I've been asking for for years it seems

He played last year for the Saints for 1 million, so I would imagine that's about what he'll make this year.

I don't think his signing affects the draft. I doubt TT was going to draft a guard in the 1st 2 rounds anyway. After that, if there's a Guard TT likes, he'll draft him since Evans is likely only a very short term solution.
