With his 35th birthday on the horizon, Packers free agent guard Jahri Evans says that he wants to continue playing. The veteran also says he would be open to another season in Green Bay. 
“I’m not opposed to coming back to Green Bay,” Evans said. “I loved my last year in Green Bay. Green Bay was great. I loved the coaching staff, I loved the locker room. I loved the organization, the community. It was awesome. It was a great fit for me. My goal is, I wanted to win another Super Bowl. I still do. So that’s my focus right now. But, you know, it’s still early. We’re sitting in the first week of April right now. So it’s very early.”
Evans, 35 in August, started in all 14 of his games with the Packers last season. He turned in a strong season, grading out as Pro Football Focus’ No. 30 ranked guard with quality marks for his pass blocking. Packers coach Mike McCarthy has indicated that the door is open for Evans to return.
“Jahri is definitely part of the conversation,” McCarthy said earlier this week. “I don’t know exactly where he is as far as what his goals are, but we’re open (to him returning.”
Last year, the Packers signed Evans just days before the draft. This time around, Evans is once again willing to be patient as he says he’s unlikely to sign with any team in the spring.
Green Bay should definitely re-sign Evans. Even if he isn’t as effective, he’s still an affordable veteran depth piece that they’ll need at some point
Resign him GB! Then draft OL and Evans can play mentor .
Better he signs with the Vikings and gives them a solid replacement for Joe Berger and mentor for the rest of the interior O linemen. Plus he’d have a better shot at actually getting that extra Super Bowl ring than if he re-signed with the Pack. No disrespect meant.
On the queens? Winning a super bowl? Bwhahahaha…..you’ve lost as many as we’ve won. Good luck with that thought process.
I’d try to match wits with you but as you only seem to have one, I’ll pass.
You could always just cheap shot our qb again….only reason you won the division last year.
Vikings ain’t going no where. Your window is closed.
Enjoy your overpaid average qb.
