After 10 years with the New Orleans Saints, offensive lineman Jahri Evans was released this past February after he refused to take a pay cut. Evans, of course, was one of the main cogs of the Saints’ Super Bowl team.
He has yet to be picked up by a team this offseason, but in the meantime he’s looking to sell his home in Destrehan for $768,000. (Evans bought the property in 2010 for $530,000.) So if you’ve been looking for the perfect home in The Big Easy, this might be the spot.
It has a sweet pool, custom closets, a Saints-themed game room, etc.
