People say he's washed up and looked awful last season, the vikings said the same thing when we signed Darren Sharper.....just saying

In 2013, the 6-0, 192 pounder appeared in five regular season games with three starts for the Broncos as he missed 11 games with a foot injury. He posted 14 tackles (12 solo) and three passes defensed. He appeared in all three postseason games for Denver with two starts, including Super Bowl XLVII and recorded 11 solo tackles.

Apparently his foot was feeling better in the Super-bowl... Looks like we have a secondary great at tackling now

EDIT: May have read that wrong, 11 solo tackles in 2 games not the superbowl

Not really, they just didn't think he was worth the money he was looking for.

They would've liked to keep Sharper, but he was a "casualty" of the annual value vs cost debate every single FO has to go through in the offseason when evaluating their roster.

It certainly did work out in Sharper's and the Saints' favor.
