Possible reasons Sharper on Market
 

Most Saints fans would think the Saints would be crazy to not resign Darren Sharper. I would love to see Sharper return as he is definitely the best current FS we have on the team. The Saints are possibly in perfect position to compete for several Super Bowls over the next decade; so I could possibly see Loomis' logic in trying to revert back to the younger players in an attempt to prepare for the long haul. Malcolm Jenkins has potential to be a star at the position, as seen on several plays this season. His pass reading skills are top notch, and may eventually end up being the better choice in a year or 2. Sharper is the proven player though, so the decision is sure to disappoint a lot of people if it does happen.

its still early. I think we will have him locked in by this weekend...:p

I don't think Sharper would be out signing DVD's if the FO wasn't talking about resigning him.

they are going to find out what is market value is before the offer him some ridiculous contract. he'll be back, but he thinks he is worth more than he really is

Re: Possible reasons Sharper on Market
 

If we dont sign him we may move up in the draft. I believe Berry is a beast and would stat right away

Re: Possible reasons Sharper on Market
 

I think they are just showing him that nobody will pay him the 6 million he wants, and whatever he is offered they will pay. If the highest offer he gets is 3 million and he was asking for 6 and the Saints sign him they save themselves 3 million.

Ding Ding! That's it! Exactly! He really has an inflated sense of self worth. This is the only thing that bothers me about Sharper.

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).

Re: Possible reasons Sharper on Market
 

Agreed!

Re: Possible reasons Sharper on Market
 

Could it be that the Saints just want to get younger.

I think Sharper will come to his senses and realize that the Saints are not going to pay him $6.455 million for one season. When he realizes his true value, and the fact that GW's defense is exactly right for him to do his thing, he will come back and sign a 2 or 3 year deal with the Saints.

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.

Pay the man.

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! ;)

Re: Possible reasons Sharper on Market
 

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.

Re: Possible reasons Sharper on Market
 

Without one player, we can't repeat? My God, how did the Packers, Dolphins, 49ers, Steelers (twice), Cowboys, Broncos and Patriots all do it??????? :whatever:

Re: Possible reasons Sharper on Market
 

Thought you already committed your cupcakes to Brees.... LOL

- Darren Sharper

Re: Possible reasons Sharper on Market
 

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.

Possible reasons Sharper on Market? (sorry, I added the "?")

Now that everybody has had a chance to weigh in on this topic, I will give you a reason that nobody might have thought of...










He was throwing frisbees and it landed on top of the market....(rimshot?)
