As far as the fate of Evans and Grubbs, one of them should go and the better of the two should be kept at a reduced rate.
I honestly don't think we should keep either one of them at this point. We have a chance to have a very young, athletic, and cheap offensive line next year.

"Robbing Peter to pay Paul". Now, if they were going after a kicker with a longer FG range, then I would say asking Morstead to restructure wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. Typically GMs look at salaries categorically, ie. you move money from Special Teams to pay for a need on Special teams.
Well they impact each other. The Saints offense is very good and does not punt the ball much. I'd much rather save $1-4 million a year for an offensive/defensive weapon that 10 yards/game punting.
Coaches don't like the unknown though and there is always a risk when you change it up

I'd be shocked if they draft 2 guards though. Especially with the needs on defense. We obviously need a second lock-down corner to complement Lewis on the other side. Linebacker has been woefully ignored for far too long in the draft by this FO. The last two games against run-heavy offenses have pretty much shown the entire league that all they have to do is borrow Les Miles' playbook in preparation for playing the Saints. We are looking like we will also need another NT with Bunkley showing his age. That doesn't even address the hole that Mark Ingram will leave on our running game after he leaves. Also Colston is probably done, so now we need a quality possession receiver.

Do not discount the effect that a veteran can have on the interior line. You don't want a bunch of young-bloods in the middle of the line for Brees. A good defensive line who knows how to do a lot of stunts and twists will really reek havoc on a rookie interior. Look at Dallas last year, when their amazing Oline (this year) was cutting their teeth. It resulted in a potentially career-ending injury for Romo.
To me, Grubbs would be the best candidate based on what I've seen this year. Evans looks lethargic and running high in mileage this year.
