I don't see Harper getting traded, unless Tennessee (Gregg Williams) makes a move, and there are two reasons; first, he's got a high salary cap hit to complicated things; second, a team would probably wait and see him cut first before make an expendable draft pick...

I don't see Harper getting moved. No one would pay that much for a mediocre player and I think the team is hoping he benefits from the new scheme.
I think Smith and Vilma are as good as gone, Smith is way overpriced and we just have no need of Vilma.

If we trade him, the Saints take the cap hit for the bonus money.

It would cost us over 3.5 million just to trade him.

Tennessee would only have to pay Harper his 2013 and 2014 base salary, approximately 5.5 mill per season.

I wish they would cut Harper or move him to LB.

I never have thought he was fit for Safety except the one season he was opposite of Sharper.

Hafta get two draft picks for Harper. One for him and one for his neck.
