There was a reason why Sharper signed with the "lowly Saints" for a cheap 1-year contract after he was released from Minnesota: nobody wanted him. Sharper benefited GREATLY from a) the play of Jabari and Tracy and b) GW's system.

And as for Reggie getting paid, stop it. Payton wants Reggie, he gets Reggie. That's that. And I am sure the stream of revenue the Saints realize from Reggie from marketing and merchandising, helps a lot also.
Besides, it is an uncapped year. So what's the difference?

Is it possible that Sharper brought a swagger and confidence to the D the was equally if not more important than just William's attitude?

.... either way, What Sharper did on defense was more consistent and impressive than Bush on O. Sharper was consistent and accountable, not to mention, leading the league in his position. How many games did we see see Bush get randomly tossed in and out, only to find himself watching from the sidelines because he couldn't get anything going.

As far as "Payton Wanting Reggie"..... this doesn't ease my mind. First off, 2010 season hasn't started yet, so easy with the assurance. Secondly, Payton has proven that he has a lot of pride riding with Reggie as his first big move as a head coach. I don't know what might drive him to stick with him, and that it may not be silly little trivial things like his friends and/or family saying, "ahhhh, we love Reggie". Maybe he doesn't want to be the A-hole..... maybe it's pressure from front office / marketing for the amount invested with him in marketing, anything like this I can imagine and understand, but it doesn't mean anything to me as a fan.

as far as it being an uncapped year.... why are we struggling to to retain some of our pro bowl caliper players? ...... see my concern?
