Looking for possible Darren Sharper suitors
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on April 8, 2010 3:00 PM ET
Darren Sharper's market isn't expected to develop until after the draft, so he had plenty of time to kill this week as a guest analyst at NFL Network.

While he was there, he spoke with the league's website, who subsequently threw out some "educated guesses" for possible teams that would be interested.

The Saints come first, then the Eagles, Jets, and Redskins were listed. Sharper is looking for a playoff-caliber team with a scheme that fits his skills. It's unclear if the list came straight from Sharper, but the reality is that he may not have a lot of options.

If he was viewed as a necessity by any of the teams above, they would have him visit by now, knee surgery or not.

In an uncapped year, I can't understand why we haven't made him a legitimate offer. I know the original issue was that we needed to lose a couple of high end free agants to be able to bring anyone in but it doesn't look like we're all that interested in any so lets bring Sharper back!

i understand your concern poydras, but if we start throwing all the cash at every 30 something year old good player not great player we'll land up exactly like the oakland raiders. we be a disaranged organization that thinks if you put all superbowl players together that it would be a super bowl team. ha right

reality has got to be setting in for DS...

why would his market be hotter after the draft? why isn't anyone looking now, so they can draft accordingly?

I think the rest of the league is looking at only 2 picks after week 8, and none in the playoffs, and a lackluster Super Bowl.

Sharper IS a great player, and he proved his worth long before he became a Saint, and proved it again as a Saint. Do me a favor, go look up his stats, and find me a safety in the league right now that you think is better than him, and compare them. I really want to know your defintion of "great".

NINE INTS. Captained the freaking secondary during our superbowl run. Helped us to start out 13-0, our best "season" in the history of this ball club. He played hurt, when he could have sat on his BUTT, and still got paid. The "honor", should go both freaking ways.

I'm amazed at how ONE superbowl, changes the entire mind frame of a teams fanbase.

And it's not a sign of desperation to sign great players, that are good at what they do. That is a sign of wanting to win.
