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.

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 .

Anyone have anything to say on Jahri Evans? If not, this topic will be closed.

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!!!!

Guess only time will tell just how big the move was.
