And now it all comes out. Darren Sharper of the Super Bowl-winning New Orleans Saints was supposed to be one of the hottest free agents of the off-season. It was quite a surprise that he wasn’t snapped up immediately, but it turns out that he had microfracture knee surgery rather than the much less severe arthroscopic knee surgery as was originally reported.
Sharper re-upped with the Saints on Monday for another year, but his status for the summer and the start of next season is unknown.
Sharper holds the record for single-season interception return yards last season with 376.
The Super Bowl Odds list the New Orleans Saints at +950.
