True, but they are the topic of this particular thread.

And for the record, I do think Harper is a good SS especially against the run, but at the same time I do think the Saints are overpaying him.

With the money he is getting he should be a difference maker on the field, but he has been that very rarely since he got his new contract last offseason.

Since you brought up Adrian Wilson as an example of a top tier SS in the league Danno, I'll use his salary as a comparison to what the Saints are paying Harper.

2012 Cap Hits: Harper $6.35M; Wilson $3.45M (Harper gets 1.8 times what Wilson gets)
2013 Cap Hits: Harper $7.1M; Wilson $4.625M (Harper gets 1.5 times what Wilson gets)
2014 Cap Hits: Harper $7.9M; Wilson $4.625M (Harper gets 1.7 times what Wilson gets)
2015 Cap Hits: Harper UFA; Wilson $4.625M

In that light either the Cardinals are paying Wilson less than he deserves or the Saints are way overpaying Harper for his services.
