Darren Sharper sees a possible return to the Saints before Green Bay

He'll be 36 in November. Who does he think he is, Darrell Green?

He'll actually have more grey hair than Harper.

I'll take a "Sharper Harper!"

SaintPauly · 08-27-2011, 01:11 AM

I like this move. Keep him here, and keep that secondary going. More weapons help, not hurt.....

In baseball they use to have "player-coaches".

I think he would be fantastic in that type of a role.

Bring him in for obvious passing downs or as a blitzer!!

I would love to see him sign, no question!

Sharper 2009 version - Its a no brainer, sign him immediately if not sooner.

Sharper 2010 version - No thanks.

Somewhere in the middle? - Probably so, couldn't hurt.

Will he accept the backup role, because I don't see him taking the spot from Jenkins.

Fixed it for ya.

And the answer seems to be "no":

According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, "don't expect the Saints to bring back (free agent) Darren Sharper."
The Times-Picayune's Mike Triplett believes Jonathon Amaya has earned the Saints' No. 3 safety job behind Roman Harper and Malcolm Jenkins. Sharper has reportedly been staying in shape, and is still hopeful of playing in what would be his 15th NFL season. Aug. 27 - 12:20 pm et

Then again, with the vet-min rules, back-up money is probably the same as starter money. He's gonna get a million-plus either way.
