Evans started every single the past 4 seasons for the Saints and the Saints finding him as a late round gem in the 4th round of the 2006 draft is a big reason for the team's success since the 2006 season.

He received the richest deal given to a guard, averaging $8.1 million per year.

Smart move by the Saints. Looks like people are figuring out loopholes to the restrictions. Let's see if JR opens the pockets for Kalil.

Its not if or of not he is willing to open his pockets. Its about doing it the right way. IMO the right way is NOT those MONSTER signing bonuses the Niners and Saints are throwing around.

I hope we wait for a new CBA and then sign Kalil and others. I know its like playing chikcken but this is the right thing to do.

The Saints aren't throwing around money. Evans was a 4th round pick in 06 still playing on a rookie contract even when he reached the All-Pro level. You have to play your best players. Not bad for a guy out of Bloomsburg

There is no right way. There is just signing them to a mutual agreement or not signing them. Everything doesn't have to be guaranteed nor does it have to be a signing bonus. Roster bonuses aren't guaranteed and don't count against the 30% rule. They become a signing bonus when executed.

If we wait until there is a new CBa we will have a bunch of high priced guys we need to sign. I doubt richardson is going to spend 100 million of his money on signing bonuses but that is what it will cost at a minimum. By waiting you can guarantee that many of the guys like Davis, Kalil, and Moore won't be here next year.

I find it hillarious some (not all) of you bash another organizations handling of contracts. Like the Panthers know the best way of when to reward players.

Can we just agree on one thing? The Taints can lick the back side of my sack.

yup lol

Bears signing Peppers to that contract was dumb

Saints signing one of the best guards in the game to a long term contract(he's only 26, by the way) is smart.

You don't make your best players wait for a contract, that's a real good way to piss them off.

Quit living in the past. That was last year.

Lame. But I will play your game. Who do the experts give better odds to win the SB THIS year? Saints or Panthers? Yeah that is what I thought. Not trying to pick a fight tonight but just telling it like it is. Folks are bashing another organization for signing / rewarding their talent. The Panthers have a piss poor record of knowing how to walk that tight rope so I don't get the bashing. It simply doesnt work.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
