I think Harper may really shine this year because we have better players in front of him. Perhaps if we put more of a pass rush, Harper won't be so exposed in coverage which isn't supposed to be a SS top skill.

It's fun to watch. Watching that video makes you realize that we wouldn't have never made the SuperBowl if it wasn't for Roman Harper.

Wow.

Now that it's been decided, let's get behind Roman...

...and push!

LOL Just had to do it, sorry! LOL

Love you, Harper, and hope you remain a loyal, hard-hitting Saint for many years to come!

Many more All-Pro years for you, bud!!

"He's a Pro Bowl safety. He's one of our best football players," Williams said back in January. "I desperately want him back."

Harper (6 feet, 1 inch, 200 pounds) became a starter as a rookie in 2006 after the Saints drafted him in the second round out of Alabama, but he especially bloomed after Williams arrived in 2009

Williams has embraced Harper's versatility, using him as a blitzer and run defender as well as in pass coverage. Harper had 100 tackles, three sacks, one interception and five forced fumbles last season.

Dating back to 2006, Harper ranks second among all NFL safeties with 9.5 sacks and fourth among all NFL safeties with 11 forced fumbles. And that doesn't include the ball he stripped during the Saints' NFC championship game victory over Minnesota en route to Super Bowl XLIV.

So for $11.8mm (Bush) we get Sproles, Harper, a Safety and future draft choice from Miami for good measure.

Not a bad day!

Good sign...and a payday for much more than I figured. Good for him. He's a solid player IMO. Good job Loomis!
