Evans has recently opened negotiations with the Saints to remain with the team moving forward, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

Evans' current contract coupled with the Saints' salary-cap situation makes it uncertain whether the Pro Bowl guard will remain in New Orleans. However, after expectations initially sided with Evans eventually being released by the Saints, it appears he may now be open to restructuring his deal to stay with the team. Coming off wrist surgery following this season, he remains a top-tier offensive lineman, making his negotiations with the Saints worthwhile to monitor as the upcoming weeks unfold.
