Darren Sharper

I don't think he's coming back; we have younger/cheaper options for depth behind Jenkins on the roster...

And he's not better than Jenkins so there is no chance for him to be a starter on this team anymore...

That's funny. And also true.

Younger and cheaper isn't automatically the right way to go... I would rather the Saints field the most skilled team they can, even at depth
positions. But it's probably very difficult to assess Sharper's skill at this point in time, since he isn't taking part in any organized workouts or camps.

Even if Sharp is 75% of the Safety he was in 2009 and all those years with the Pack, he is better than everyone out there at FS aside from Jenkins, who is his "Young Grasshopper."

Yeah, I agree. But, my point was that there's just no way of knowing at what level he is at the moment 'cos he isn't partaking in any practices.
As it stands... signing him would present a somewhat of a gamble, and more so to any other team than the Saints, which is why he'll probably wind
up signing with the Saints if he does in fact sign with someone.
