come on that is his super bowl contract. we all were a bit giddy back then,

plus the saints unlike 99% of the teams in the nfl are loyal to a fault with their players.

we will see soon enough his future. contract redo in the final year that is extended and made cap friendly would not surprise me at all

It wouldn't surprise me at all either. He was given that contract based on his role in GW's defense. That in the box safety is featured in Gregg Wiliamms' defense.

Now that Gregg was fired the following year his position is no longer featured, so of course he's currently over-paid. If we still had Gregg here he would not be overpaid.

Player are often overpaid in the last year of their contracts. Currently Harper is the 6th highest paid safety in the league. Obviously thats too high based on his current role.

Its no different than an O-lineman who excells at run blocking, but mediocre at pass blocking going from a power run team to a wide open pass offense that throws 70% of the time. Good player, wrong system.
