I know that there is nobody here that would turn down 5 mil/year at any place on the planet to play for 3 in NO.

Some people are just talking through their heart and not letting their brain intervene, IMO.

What about Sharper's legacy? His life as an active NFL player vs his life as a retired NFL player?
He was a part of the Packers' community and to a lesser extent the Vikes' as well. Canton OH is chock full of Packers. He is not considered one of their greats. Starr yes. Sharper, no.

His time in Minnesota probably won't be his fondest memories, nor will his play there be remembered as his best.

He is a Super Bowl Champion Saint now. He will always be associated with the wonderful feelings that we, as fans have. Our 1st (hopefully of many) Championship! Sharper's 1st too.

We LOVE our players! We are new to this "Champions" stuff, but we are well versed in appreciating our players. Whether it be HOF Saint "City Champ" Rickey Jackson, Sam Mills, Vaughn Dunbar, Pat Swilling or nearly all that we have seen come and go. We LOVE them! They are Saints!

Darren is in a position to be remembered as a damn good Safety in Green Bay, a good Safety in Minnesota, or a GOD in Louisiana!

His life after football here in La would be pretty nice I think.
