Darren Sharper is an unrestricted free agent and no hard news yet, but he is scheduled to sign copies of NFL Film's Super Bowl XLIV DVD on Tuesday, March 9th in Slidell. It would be awkward if he wasn't a Saint at that point.
Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting two Saints bits:
- Saints starting right guard Jahri Evans could be landing a blockbuster deal, in terms of offensive guards anyway, soon.
- Unrestricted free agent LB Scott Fujita, who lives in downtown New Orleans near Sharper and has been a mainstay on defense, is heading to Cleveland for a visit with the Browns.
The visit is just a step in the process of letting the market determine Fujita's value. It is apparently the Saints' strategy with both Fujita and Sharper- wait for the first offer to come in, then decide whether or not to match it.
For both players, the Saints may not need to beat or match the offer, but come close enough.
I wish the Saints had let Bush test his worth on the market. He is not worth 8million. He has not proven his worth just because he played tougher in the last few games.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me?! Get off the Reggie-hate bandwagon. The ONLY reason you think Reggie is not worth that kind of money is the unrealistic expectation that fans developed after his ridiculous college career and outstanding first year. Compare Reggie with other running backs making that much. It's not even close. Reggie is a triple threat -- running, catching and returning. He also shines when the stakes are highest. I'm glad #25 is still a Saint. He's a potent weapon and matchup nightmare. Get over the fact that he's from USC.
ReplyDeleteI wish the Anonymous poster before me would hush his/her mouth and let this Super Bowl winning front office and coaching staff do what they do best
ReplyDeleteREggie Bush is CERTAINLY NOT WORTH $8,000,000.
ReplyDeleteWHAT has he done. A few play here and there for the highlight reels. He DOES NOT PLAY WITH
CONSISTENCY. He is ALWAYS injured. Trade him if they can, I doubt any other team will pick up that salary. The money they save would keep
Sharper and Fujita here.
Bush wouldn't be able to "test his worth" on the market unless the Saints cut him, in which case I doubt he'd have much interest in coming back.
ReplyDeleteAs for Fujita and Sharper, these are two guys who've really become part of the fabric of the team. Fujita's become part of the fabric of the city as well. Sharper looks like he's getting there, too. I hope all those Slidellians treat him right on the 9th. Bring him some shrimp to take home or something.
Thomas is the number one running back for the Saints. He does all the work and Bush gets the interviews. Makes a lot of sense to me. Cut Bush, He is to much hype not enough action. He sissy foots around to much. You got to hit the hole hard like Thomas and Bell.
