GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jahri Evans was once the NFL's highest-paid guard. Now, he could be one of the Green Bay Packers' biggest bargains.
If the veteran guard plays like he did last season, his 11th for the New Orleans Saints, then the one-year, $2.25 million contract he signed with the Packers on the eve of the draft might be a steal. At that price, Evans ranks 86th among offensive linemen based on average pay per year, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
Even if Evans is just a suitable one-year, stop-gap player, it will be worth it.
