The Saints, who have already lost one key starter from a defense that shut down Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning in the final three quarters of Super Bowl XLIV, could lose another one in free agency.

All indications are that the Saints, who lost strong-side linebacker Scott Fujita to the Cleveland Browns last week, want All-Pro free safety Darren Sharper back. But it seems that Sharper is getting a little antsy while waiting for something to get done.

Sharper recently had minor surgery to clean out a knee that swelled up on occasion last season and has not been able to make any free agent visits.

At least one person in New Orleans, Times-Picayune columnist John Deshazier, is hoping Jake Delhomme will be back with the Saints next season. An excerpt:  Let's hope the treatment is royal enough, that the sales pitch is persuasive enough, that the ego is tame enough.  Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme is visiting the New Orleans Saints this weekend.If those factors are aligned, then the New Orleans Saints can sign free agent quarterback Jake Delhomme. And they can upgrade the backup position on the roster by landing a guy who, if he physically is fit and mentally hasn't been shredded by a final season of nightmarish play in Carolina, the franchise could feel comfortable leading the team if - heaven forbid - something happened to Drew Brees.
