Just read that Saints aren't tendering him, and that they are far apart in contract negotiations. I think making a run at him makes since. Great young OG that would greatly upgrade our Oline vs. Kosier. Then draft a safety and I'm real happy.

In all honesty I'm leery of picking up high-priced o-linemen in free agency. Some times they only fit a certain blocking scheme. Also the players they play with can make them look better than they actually are. Not saying this is the case, but I just don't know.

i know the Romo faithful wanna use plug-ins like its Madden 10 but the truth is you build OLines with drafting and coaching!


the oline of the 90's was considered the greatest thing since slice bread! they were a bunch of misfits b4 92!

The Cowboys may not want to pay what he'll ask for, but he's legitimately one of the better lineman in the NFL. And he's been good for awhile.

He's a probowl 26 year old Guard.

He is asking for 50+ mil. At least.

He will be tendered that point hasn't gotten here yet.

he hasn't been franchised, he will be tendered

 

[jobberone]

He's going nowhere. Just like Austin Miles.

Pasquarelli reported via Twitter today that the Saints are closing in on a long term deal with Evans. Payton also said a deal is in the works. Evans isn't going anywhere. He will get whatever he wants.
