re: Saints negotiating w/ Jahri to keep him a Saint

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.

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.
