Safety Options - Sharper, Rolle (maybe)

That makes way too much sense.

Are you sure they're looking to trade a LT? Who's going to protect Brees? It must be nice to have enough LT's to be able to trade one..........oops sorry, I started daydreamin'.

I'd trade LL for Jamal Brown the LT of the saints in a heartbeat

New Orleans Saints - LaRon Landry

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that LL impresses this year if he's still here

otherwise I don't know, I kind of wish Jackson wasn't here again so that it would be more obvious

So how much is LL worth in draft pick(s)? Hell, let's get Rolle, move Horton to SS, and let's get picks for LL.

I think you're right TMC, but I don't think franchising him and paying him the tender would have prevented that 1-2 game regression. He's 34.

It's probably the right move to accept that his performance in this season was every bit as fluky as it was unexpected. He may still be a good player next year, but I wouldn't give him the franchise tender to force him to prove it.

If he leaves, they will have a big hole to replace, but I don't think he's going to leave. I think he'll test the market and re-sign.

I think that's debatable. I don't know that Sharper was the best defensive playmaker down the stretch for that team. He only had 2 picks after week 8 last year and none in the playoffs. That's not to say that teams didn't start going away from him, but I don't think that putting the franchise tag on him would have been a good idea. I think there's a good chance he wouldn't have lived up to that kind of salary, uncapped season or not.

I agree that's he one of the best playmakers on that team, but Tracy Porter came up with some huge plays in bigger games that Darren Sharper. I think Sharper "had a great season" because of his first half. I don't know that his play down the stretch really sealed this idea that he's "back."

How about Myron Rolle from FSU/Oxford?

First round talent that will probably drop to a later round.

CultBrennan59

he's a SS...so No we don't need Another SS (Horton,Doughty,Moore)

I guess if Moore became an SS we're definitely loaded, when did this happen?

CultBrennan59

He backs up Landry but is more natural at SS.

Just out of curiosity then...do we have a true FS at all??

No, thats why I wouldn't mind us drafting Eric Berry, or getting a tall corner and move him to FS like the bills did with Jarius Byrd, IMO.
