keeping any of Grubbs/Goody/Jahri does not make us better at those positions
How does keeping at least one veteran player in a rotation of new players not improve the position? Players have to learn somewhere, I'd rather them learn from someone like Evans. It's one thing to hear it from the coaches, it's a completely other thing to hear it from a decorated peer. You also cannot discount his long history with Brees, which has a direct impact on at-the-line blocking adjustments.

Everyone knows that. But you have to consider depth and experience in the whole equation, and I guarantee the FO is currently doing that. Every active player on a roster is worth something. Evans/Grubbs have a cost associated with simply cutting them, so it would make the most sense to negotiate a new contract (which the Saints appear to be doing) with one or both of them.

I'm hoping the saints wanting to keep jahri implies more about what they know about his previous health and health moving forward. I hope Saints are intending to keep a better jahri than Jahriof past 2 years.

Exactly. shite, if both are willing to play near what their dead money is for this year ($5 mil for Jahri, $6 mil for Grubbs), then why not keep both, even for depth? The only problem is that these guys may not be willing to take that much of a pay cut, and not be a starter. There's no way these guys make what's left on their contract in an open market, but they could both still start for another team somewhere else.
