Harper is good at these things, yes, but for Ed Reed/ Troy P money you need to be able to do everything. And that's the kind of money he would get with a franchise tag.

Dude you've lost your mind. Sharper finished 3rd in Defensive player of the year honors. THIRD! He led the league in Interceptions, Interceptions returned for TD's and INT Return yds. I watched every game this year and the thing that impressed me most was how vicious his fills were against the run. I think he is absolutely worth the $6MM ESPECIALLY with no salary cap in place.
