Loomis: Not ready to reveal Saints' plans on Sharper

WWL.com Reporting
Although ESPN.com and NFL.com are reporting that the New Orleans Saints will not use the franchise tag on free safety Darren Sharper, Saints GM Mickey Loomis says he's not ready to reveal the Saints' plans for the Pro Bowl free safety.

Sharper, an unrestricted free agent, could pursue offers from other teams if the Saints to not apply the franchise tag to him.

New Orleans Saints GM Mickey Loomis isn't commenting on the reports, and will only say that the team will release details of any arrangement(s) with Sharper when the time is right.

"We know what we're going to do, we're going to keep that information... close to the vest," Loomis told WWL. "I don't like talking about contracts, I think it's a personal issue for players. It's a business issue for our team, but it's a personal issue for our players, and I want to respect that."

Also appearing on "Sportstalk with Bobby Hebert and Deke Bellavia," Sharper commented on his future with the Saints, saying that it's a team he'd very much like to remain a part of.

"The excitement I had, the fun that I had this year, the team that we have, is something I definitely want to come back and be a part of again," Sharper said.

Sharper said, however, that he understands that the NFL is a business.

"And I make no qualms on whatever happens, whether I'm franchised, if I'm not franchised...whatever happens, I know where I want to be. I just hope everything works out and that can happen," Sharper said.
