Roman Harper Signs with the Panthers

[Big A]

Exactly! Trust me, i speak nothing but the truth. He has been the worst player on their defense for years now. I have watched enough games to know. If this guy somehow helps us I will complete Crow.

I've personally watched just about every game Harpers played and while he used to be good against run and rushing the passer, it's been downhill since 2011 and looks like this:

Great guy personally though and I wouldn't expect any issues in lockeroom.

This is from last offseason:

Last year, however, Harper had zero sacks and zero forced fumbles under coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who played more zone defense and didn't blitz Harper very often. And Harper's longtime struggles in deep pass coverage were even more exposed.

Conversely he also had zero sacks last year.

Exactly. However, it doesn't mean Godfrey is safe. Gettleman could still decide to cut Godfrey.

never said he was safe.

Ryan Clark is still better. And did we really just use 2.25M of our cap on Roman Harper?

The rest of this post is edited so as to not offend with bitching and moaning.

Well Harper's still only 31 as opposed to 35.  I liked Clark too, but at least Harper can help with the Saints, and the rest of the NFC South for that matter.

One one hand I am glad that we signed a guy that I have actually heard of before now but I am not sure what this guy has left other than being good against the run.

Harper is so bad and we overpayed. Would much rather run with Mikell/Lester and cut Godfrey. Sign someone cheaper like Major Wright.
