Veteran guard Jahri Evans visits with the Bills


The Buffalo Bills hosted veteran guard Jahri Evans, a 32-year-old six-time Pro Bowler, this week.

Per Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com:
The New Orleans Saints released Evans in a cost cutting move Feb. 8th. They had just restructured his contract last offseason. At the start of this offseason however, New Orleans was still about $10M over the projected cap for 2016 and released Evans along with two other players in early February.
Brown notes that Evans "also has a great deal of familiarity with Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer."

According to Mike Rodak of ESPN.com, the Bills have $10.6 million in cap space. He writes that Evans "would potentially be a fall-back plan if the Bills cannot re-sign guard Richie Incognito."
