The New Orleans Saints didn’t waste any time clearing cap space when on Monday morning they announced the release of 6 time Pro Bowler Guard Jahri Evans. Even though Evans was a 10-year starter for the Saints, the team decided to release him so they can save $3.1 million because the Saints were already around $10 million over the salary cap. Even after Evans had agreed to a significant pay cut last season in order to stay with the team, the Saints felt it was time to move on. Now, he is free to sign with any team – but, will the Fins be interested in signing him.
One person’s garbage (even though injuries have been mounting and his game has slightly declined, I’m not saying Evans is garbage – but he was tossed aside by the Saints), is another man’s treasure. Everyone and their grandma knows, Miami still desperately needs to sign one, preferably two, starting Guards to have anything other than a mockery of the 2017 season. And even though Evans is 32 years old, most would agree that he is still one of the better guards in the league. In this case, could the Saint’s trash be Miami’s treasure?
Much best pay per head reviews thought Miami was going to make a strong push for former Pro Bowl Guard Evan Mathis last season, however, they decided not to sign him. The resulting beating of Tannehill and the destruction of many more T.V.s is well known – as is the poor play of Thomas and Turner. Contrasting this next to Mathis who ended up ranking #4 at guard and helped the Broncos win a Super Bowl for 2.5 million is torture onto its own. Mathis’s hands down had the last laugh at Tannebaum’s boast that, “He never even called Mathis“.
Miami clearly would have been a better team with Mathis last season or 64 plus other guards. so the axiom is that the definition of insanity is to repeat the same action but expect different results…Miami once again has the opportunity to sign another released former Pro Bowl Guard – or someone in that range like Baltimore’s Kelechi Osemele. The question is would they be wise to let another opportunity like this pass them by? Yes, they can draft an LG! But, left guards are one of the more under-appreciated positions in the NFL. Most don’t realize the stark difference between LG and RG. Next time you watch a game (or re-watch them) notice how 95% of the time the center’s first step is to the right in pass protect. Left Guards are the linchpin of the offensive line as they are called to “block alone” and allow help to go elsewhere. They are the domino that either stands strong or starts the collapse.
The bottom line is that Miami needs to fill the large void at the Guard position, and the Dolphins do not have anyone on the current roster able to upgrade the position. The Dolphins have spent the last three drafts investing in Guards (Douglas, Turner, and Thomas) and none have shown that they are a legitimate solution to the problem. Wouldn’t it be wise to find a veteran, whether it’s Evans or not, bring instant certainty to the position – and with it to the 2017 season?
