Evans has stayed in contact with the Packers this offseason and is willing to return to Green Bay for the 2018 season, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Packers signed Evans last offseason after the team lost T.J. Lang to the Lions. The 34-year-old veteran proved to be a solid signing for Green Bay considering Evans was one of its most consistent linemen, starting the first 14 games of the season before bruising his knee and sitting out the final two contests once the Packers were eliminated from playoff contention. There's been no indication the bruised knee is still a problem, it's just more likely that the Packers are waiting until after the draft before deciding to bring him back for another season.

Evans (knee) will consider retirement this offseason, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans, who missed the final two games of the 2017 season with what he described as a knee "contusion," will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the league year. Playing on a one-year deal with the Packers this past season, the 34-year-old vet finished as Pro Football Focus' 34th-highest-graded offensive guard out of 80 qualifiers.

Evans (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Evans will be sidelined a second straight week with his knee injury. He played every snap in the 14 games he appeared in for the Packers, but he will turn 35 prior to the 2018 campaign and signed just a one-year deal with the Packers last offseason, so it remains to be seen if he will return to Green Bay.

Evans signed a contract with the Packers on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans has spent the first 11 years of his career with the Saints, starting 169 of 176 games in that span. He'll likely fill in for TJ Lang, who left the Packers to sign with the Lions back in March. Evans will likely start at guard along with Lane Taylor in 2017.

Evans has recently opened negotiations with the Saints to remain with the team moving forward, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
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, Evans remains a top-tier offensive lineman, making his negotiations with the Saints worthwhile to monitor as the upcoming weeks unfold.

Evans (wrist) had surgery last month on a partially-torn ligament in his wrist, which kept him out of the Pro Bowl. He is expected to be fully recovered in time for offseason workouts and the start of organized team activities in May, reports ESPN.com.Although he was selected for his sixth consecutive Pro Bowl, Evans had a down year by his lofty standards in 2014, showing more inconsistency than usual as a pass protector. Still, he remains an above-average guard, who continued to stand out many times on film this past year, especially as a run blocker. While he's due $7.5 million in salary and bonuses this year, it's unlikely that he will be going anywhere, even with the Saints' difficult salary-cap situation, as the Saints do not have any alternatives waiting in the wings.
