Wahle and Rivera were sacrificial lambs and the start of what was a total rebuild and I'm quite sure Ted was not naive enough to think he had options that could adequately replace those two guys at the time. That team was not going to win many games, make the playoffs, or sniff a chance at the SB. No way.
Apples and oranges.

If Evans is cut just before season starts; it'll cost Ted $300K. If he's on roster week 1 he gets another $1.15M. Then for every game he starts he gets 50K; or another 800K if he starts the entire seasons and then there $225 in LTBE bonuses, which he'll probably get in he starts half the season.

In other words, this a guy who had no other options.

Atlanta had a guard retire and are in the exact position as GB except they signed their Barclay from Indianapolis [Thornton for 690K] and drafted a 4th rounder. Thornton was a RFA and Indy whose OL sucked in 2016 and Indy non-tendered him. Atlanta played Evans [new Orleans] twice last year and you'd think he'd pick Atlanta over GB given ability to travel back home/going with a winner. So I'm guessing Atl didn't want Evans and they know him well.

The odds of Evans winning the starting job out of camp are slim. And if he's not starting he's not making the 53. But, he is insurance if the guard situation FUBARs and there is a possibility he's caught a second wind and will play better than Barclay and company.

I have some questions that I would like to hear answered before I even begin to think about an evaluation of Jahri Evans . Those questions include :

Has the player ever suffered any injuries that caused him to miss any games or training time ?
How many pro teams has he played for and why was he released from those team/s ?
What honors, if any, has this player achieved at the College / Pro - Level ?
Has this player ever had/has any drug, PED, or any ongoing Court related charges ?

Answers to these questions may inspire other questions , but the final question is can Mr.Evans effectively contribute to the success of the GB Packers .

I will reserve any opinions until I learn more about Jahri Evans .






[cheers]

If anyone, any GM from any other team thought he is going to be an average to above average player wouldn't they have offered Evans a better deal. $1.15 Million to $2.25 Million with incentives and bonuses? Wouldn't Evans have jumped at the chance to earn a "starters salary"? BTW, nearly every one earning less are still in their rookie contract.

Thus I say I will wait to see if Evans is worth the contract. He may well be what GB needs. If so, [giddity] HOORAY!!!!

Evans COULD be a huge pick up for us. We sure need the help!
Guess only time will tell just how big the move was.

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (11h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (12h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (12h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.
TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
dfosterf (12h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
Mucky Tundra (13h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (15h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (15h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (15h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (15h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (16h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (16h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (16h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (17h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

Zero2Cool (19h) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (19h) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (19h) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious
