So, you hear the news about Darren Sharper? He has visits scheduled with the Jags, Dolphins, Dallas and Redskins. Who's gonna overpay? -- Damalia Simon, Chattanooga, Tenn.
Damalia, first off, thanks for being a follower of us on Twitter. Secondly, while you’re from New Orleans, Chattanooga isn’t a bad place to be. OK. My answer to your question. I had not heard about visits to Miami or Washington, but I do know about his visits to Jacksonville and Dallas. I think if you’re asking about who will overpay for him, Dallas is the best bet. Sharper has looked at Jacksonville in the past, but the Cowboys are in need of a safety after not re-signing Ken Hamlin.
The Saints would like Sharper back, but they’re not going to overpay for him. New Orleans has reportedly offered a contract worth $3 million a year to Sharper, but he wants more. He will be 35 this season, has a bum knee and is on the downhill side of a long career.
In other words, get used to Malcolm Jenkins, Usama Young or other at free safety.
