Agree with Psycho here-- our defensive backfield is getting expensive, and Sharper showed signs of wear and tear LAST year. What can we expect in 2010?

I'd love to have him, but with 23 other FA's to worry about, we can't afford anything over $4.5 mill

Luckily it's an ESPN story, so it's gotta be at least half wrong.
