"Reed would have compensated for the loss of Harper"? We haven't lost Harper.

Yeah, this whole passage just has a feeling to it that the author thinks that Harper is no longer with the team:

In addition, the acquisition of Reed would have compensated for the loss of Roman Harper, whose contract Loomis elected not to restructure. Not that Saints fans are grieving overmuch; they had grown tired of Harper, who is a top run-stopping strong safety but covers like a defensive tackle at times. The combination of Reed at free safety and Malcolm Jenkins at strong safety would have been ideal.

And I would certainly add the signing of Benjamin Watson and the re-signing of Junior Galette - both to financially favorable contracts - to the "best moves" category.
