Look, he was awesome this year, and a big reason we made it to the big game, but I really doubt he is going to put up those numbers again.

Aparently, Loomis doubts that too and isn't going to sign him to a contract for what he did in one season.

I hope they bring him back, but at at a price that is reasonable (which is much less coin than he wants).

wow. i really wanna internet-punch you in the face right now. inflated sense of self worth? you watch snl? REALLY!? the guy is nothing but humble, and he really shouldnt be. he's a badass. my fave player is the vildabeast, but, as much as i love him, sharper was really our defensive mvp this year.

i dont know about you, but, ill trade this 6 million dollar feeling i have since winning the super bowl, to win another next year! without him, we cant repeat. period, case, and close. pay him 6 million. what do you care? you're not forking over the cash, are you? its an uncapped year. pay the guy. believe me, hes worth it.

Re: Possible reasons Sharper on Market

Meh, most football players have an inflated sense of self-worth..... otherwise what would be the point of playing(besides making money). They want to prove themselves. Pointing him out as "arrogant" in his abilities is sort of redundant.

I've already baked Sharper two dozen cupcakes if he decides to stay! ;)

Yes, but don't "overpay the man".

Rolle is the benchmark for FS in 2010. Let #42 test the market before we commit top dollar to a player with 2 years - and i'm being generous - left in his career.

“The fact that they didn’t get it done early doesn’t bother me,” he said. “They wanted me to weigh my options. Last year, they got me at a bargain price, and they know this is probably my last chance at getting a good deal in my career. They’re going to see what the market is and decide what they want to do.”

In other words, the Saints will pay if they have to pay. Should Sharper receive a better offer elsewhere, he believes, New Orleans will likely be motivated to match it or at least come close. And if he can’t generate much interest, the Saints will be his most plausible landing spot.

“I’m not letting myself worry about what they’re thinking, or what anyone else is,” Sharper insisted. “If it comes down to someone wanting me, they’re going to come get me. And if something really good comes along, I’m going to jump at it.”

Now that makes a lot of sense!

Re: Possible reasons Sharper on Market

The Saints' contract discussions with free agent FS Darren Sharper reportedly remain "positive."

No teams have set up a visit for the 34-year-old yet, so the Saints aren't being overbid. We'd still expect Sharper to wind up staying in New Orleans.
