personally I'd welcome him back for a reasonable price after this CBA is done, replacing either Taylor or Morris. He is 32 so he figures to be looking for his last deal.

“There’s only two places I’m going to play. That’s the New England Patriots. And that’s the New Orleans Saints,” Evans said. “I refuse to lose. I refuse to play for a head coach I’m not absolutely in love with, and these two head coaches (Belichick and the Saints’ Sean Payton) I’d run through a brick wall for. And that’s that.”
“I think I still have some good football left in the tank,” Evans said, “but I’ve also got some great opportunities in the broadcasting world, but we’ll see. I’m going to do what’s best for my family. If that’s retire, that’s what it’ll be. I mean, who’s to say one of these two great organizations will want me back? That’s kind of where I’m at.
“The good thing is, I’ve played 10 years. I don’t have anything left to prove. I was a chubby white boy from Palm Beach, Fla., who’s played a decade in the NFL. There’s a lot in me that still wants to play. But there’s a lot of indecision and indecisiveness from two parties that control my future in the football world. I’m kind of planning for the worst and hoping for the best. But the difficult part is getting job offers from a major network, and I have no idea what the NFL is going to do. So I might basically have to take an offer and retire. I’m not going to sit around and wait on the league and miss out on an opportunity to get in the booth, because I have no idea what’s going to be there.”
”I’ve sold all my properties in Florida,” Evans said. “I am just footloose and fancy free. I’ve taken all the advice from our PA and their directors along the way in preparing for this, so I’m in a position where I don’t have to touch any investments. My nest egg to live off of has gotten a lot bigger. I can continue to live or move wherever that next job pops up. We’re just positioned for anything and everything.”
