Great news! Now if we can just get Pierre Thomas re-signed, we can relax through the offseason and enjoy being the reigning champion until training camp.

This is the best place for Darren to be. On a quality team with a DC who gets him, a system built for his skills and intelligence, and secondary teammates who he can trust. With next season being uncapped, he's better off with this one year deal - my bet is that he'll get an extension if his knee holds up and is productive in the first quarter of the season. He needs to be thinking about transitioning into coaching at 36, where he'll make far more money for the next 30 years.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Thomas and Jahri Evans extensions come up very soon.

This is huge. Welcome back Ronnie Lott... I mean, Darren Sharper.

All kidding aside here is a quote from Lott concerning Sharper.
"That guy is special"

I think loyal fans knew the resigning would happen but the time it took to occur shows how much of a business football is. Sport, my eye.

I'm amazed no other team signed that dude. I mean c'mon... who was it that won the Super Bowl last season?

We are so freakin lucky Atlanta or Tampa didn't end up with him.

To all the folks who might have bashed on Sharper during this resigning transition, you are now a Colts fan or Bills fan Take your pick.

Sorry.

Sounds about right.

This is HUGE. Darren will spend ANOTHER year teaching all those young D backs what it takes to make Ronnie Lott refer to them as special.
