According to Matt Mascona of ESPN Radio Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Jahri Evans‘ agent spoke to 94WIP Sports Radio in Philadelphia (Evans’ hometown), informing the station that his client refused to take a second pay cut, ultimately leading to his release. He took his first pay cut back in June to supposedly secure his future with the New Orleans Saints.

Whatever the case may be, Evans is no longer with the Saints, who drafted him out of Bloomsburg (PA) in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft.
