Harper, Vilma and Smith all have limitations and will only decline from here. We could bring in some young guns and train them cheaper.

You lost me at "Will Smith, worst signing ever."

you really need to look things up a bit more before, no offense. If that is injury riddled in the NFL, then Ellis and smith and porter are paraplegic. Greer has been trailing revis in stats sense 2009, and was highly respected in Bufl. Ive shown that 100x, and scored as our 2nd highest defender in the rankings. Most QB's know not to pass Greers way. Which is why white and RP look so bad.
But Its pretty understandable he did not have a great year, and as the best DB we have, he can only do so much. Cutting Greer makes no sense.

Re: Saints Notes: Roman Harper, Jonathan Vilma and Will Smith
 

Harper, 30, is due $5.35 million next season, but his overall production has dropped off considerably as of late. Pro Football Focus actually has him rated as the second worst qualifying safety from last season.

Harper GONE !

Re: Saints Notes: Roman Harper, Jonathan Vilma and Will Smith
 

Everyone keeps screaming "Cut so and so!" You do realize that we have to replace these guys with somebody right? And that we have to pay them? I can understand Vilma and Smith, they're pretty much done for anyway and their salaries are far beyond their abilities. Harper is definitely overpaid but he's a good SS and I'm pretty sure Loomis will work something out. But if you're going to cut half the defense, like so many here seem to want to do, who are you going to find that's better AND cheaper?

Re: Saints Notes: Roman Harper, Jonathan Vilma and Will Smith
 

Here, here, Boutte!

Some cuts are undoubtedly on their way, but that doesn't mean that there'll be too many of them. Smith and Vilma are certainly on the bubble, but even they might be brought back after the release or with a re-negotiated contract.
