What are you referring to?

Jenkins' re-signing?

mea culpa...

First, Jenkins will have an 11mil cap hit next season...

Second, I know this will fire the Harper/Crimson Camp up, but Harper blows...and so does Harper's coverage and tackling - he's like a Corvette that runs outta gas trying to beat a Pacer in the quarter mile but, oh, he can win the light duty class in a tractor pull...

The sacks are fine but I would rather my DB be best at Passes Defensed, Interceptions, and Forced Fumble Jarring Hits...and be paid commensurate to what he brings the team...Harper at the least should be a salary dump...

...So that's why I say we need to add Safety Prospects soon...

Where are you getting that information from?

Jenkins is under contract for only this coming year and he'll be an UFA after that - no way is his cap hit $11M for this coming season.

He signed a 5-year $19M contract with the Saints after they drafted him, and that contract included $11M in guaranteed money.

Jenkins' cap hit for 2013 will be $4.032M according to Spotrac, and I believe that to be accurate.
