| Saints Pro Bowl Guard Evans Signs Record Deal |
The Saints released a statement attributed to General Manager Mickey Loomis, which gave considerable praise to Evans: "We liked what we saw from him as a small-school prospect in the draft four years ago, and I can say that we've loved what we've seen from him on the NFL level as well.” Saints’ coach Sean Payton added: "It's important to recognize, with what we do offensively, and the quarterback stepping up in the pocket, to have that size and talent inside the pocket I think is huge for Drew Brees and I think Drew would say the same thing. He's played since his rookie season at an extremely high level and what we've been able to accomplish as a team, offensively, his impact inside of the pocket, what he does, reflects a deal like that." Evans was a fourth round draft choice out of NCAA Division II Bloomsburg (Pa.) University in 2006 and paid immediate dividends, starting all 64 games at right guard since being drafted. The Saints led the NFL in offense in 2009 and allowed only 20 sacks, fourth fewest in the league. In addition to providing pass protection for Brees, Evans also excelled at run blocking for a Saints team that amassed 2,106 yards on the ground in 2009. The re-signing of Evans was a welcome dose of good news for the Saints, who’ve spent most of the off season dealing with the fallout from a rancorous civil suit filed by the team’s former security director Geoffrey Santini. Santini alleges that the team covered up the theft of Vicodin tablets by a senior staff member at the team's training headquarters. He contends he was forced to resign over his handling of the incident, and is seeking back pay and damages. The Saints have denied the allegations, suggesting that Santini is merely a disgruntled former employee looking to extract some money from the team.

Everyone is aware that play along the offensive and defensive line is crucial in the National Football League. The Superbowl Champion New Orleans Saints locked up an important piece of their offensive line on Wednesday, signing Pro Bowl guard Jahari Evans to a seven year deal worth $56.6 million US. The huge contract makes Evans the highest paid interior lineman in the NFL, and is likely the richest deal ever given to a pro football guard. The deal is front loaded, meaning that Evans will receive $19 million next season and $25.7 million over the first three years of the deal.
