If it is his last game as a saint, i for one will miss him on the field

Most sacks by a safety in the NFL
Pretty much won the season opener with 2 huge turnovers

Yeah he has most sacks by a safety, thats because they rather use him in a LB role than be in the secondary. Quite frankly LB is where he belongs.

Have we already forgotten that Jenkins and Harper were both receiving high praise during the first half of the season?
Once the offence starts sputtering and can't close out games these 2 are the first 2 thrown under the bus.
I imagine we'll see them both back, albeit at a discount. I imagine Vilma and Smith will be gone though and I could see Brees and Colston having their salaries adjusted just like Brady's.

Harper sat for basically two months at the beginning of the season.

I'm not sure "having their salaries adjusted" is an option.

Gregg Williams is the only person who understood how to use Harper, maybe it was because of bounties. The only Saints players I want to sign again are Graham and Joe Morgan, maybe Strief.

That's not true, Ryan's 3 safety looks with Vaccaro, Jenkins, Harper were great...

We saw some of that tonight, with Bush, Harper, and Jenkins...

Say what you want about Harper but our run defense got better immediately after he came back from injury. Our run D was looking pretty damn bad before that. That being said I do think we can upgrade cheaper.
