Roman Harper Signed.....with Saints

Guess they looked at the market and decided he was the best buy at this time...

Glad to see we got the Green Bay Fullback...

Wait ... what happened to the" Hometown Discount"?

Excellent signing. We kept a pro-bowl SS and paid him what he's worth.

I feel compelled to point out that Roman Harper got quite a bit more than Reggie Bush did?

I guess GW actually does think he's one of the best players on this defense.

Agreed, Saints overpaid for Harper in guaranteed money...

I can see continuity and fail-safe planning; but don't understand committing that much unless the new CBA forces teams to spend the money...

Two points...

GW is an improved DC than what the Saints had, but he's been fired from other jobs for being wrong before; so citing his game balls as if they came down from the heavens is over the top...

Second, yes journalist and panelist voted Harper to a ProBowl; these same people recently said that Drew Brees was not a Top 3 current player in the NFL...

WRONG.

Pro bowlers are chosen by fans, PLAYERS and COACHES.

The votes from the coaches count for one-third, the votes from the players count for another third, and the votes from the fans count for the final third.

It's time to put that Seattle game behind us and move on . . . Harper has shown that he is a solid SS in the league and has done better since GW arrived in town.

The Seattle game was an example of what you get when your offense ham-strings the game plan with its inability to run the ball and stay on the field and when your top defensive man, Malcolm Jenkins - who was clearly depended upon by everyone, including Harper - is out with injuries.
