Re: Who's Position Does Vacarro Take? Jenkins or Harper?

New Orleans Saints select Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro with the 15th pick | NOLA.com
But the Saints apparently believe they have their safety of the future in Vaccaro. It remains unclear how the selection of Vaccaro will impact the future of the 30-year-old Harper, who struggled in coverage last season. Although the Saints haven't given any indication what they will do with Harper, they can save $5.2 million against the cap by releasing him.

Payton said he wasn't going to speculate about Harper's future but said there will be competition at the position.

"We'll see how it goes when (Vaccaro) comes in," Payton said. "We want to create competition. If he was available we felt like we were getting an awfully good football player. That kind of stuff will sort itself out."

Vaccaro said he doesn't know what will happen with the incumbent safeties or exactly what his role will be in first-year defensive coordinator Rob Ryan's system.

"I don't even know," he said. "I plan on doing whatever they want me to do."

I'm no one.
Who are you?

Which is what they could do is release Harper.

Vaccaro now, might be one of the big names to come out of the 1st rd of this years draft when you start looking back in past years drafts and probowlers/starters.

I have to believe that a trade has been in the works for a while.

How else do you explain the total absence of any info regarding Harper all off season.

It has been the elephant in the room for months.

Well to be fair, it probably has something to do with Harper.

I do have a soft spot in my fan's heart for SB44 players and for dudes who took the time to be nice to my son. I am trying to be objective though.
