Sharper mulling multiple options; Saints interested

I’m told by a league source that veteran FS Darren Sharper is mulling multiple options on the free-agent market.
The Saints remain interested in Sharper, who engaged in a lengthy conversation with at least one other club, according to the source.
Sharper may have the opportunity to get more playing time elsewhere, but the Saints have a chance to win a Super Bowl and he has a strong relationship with coaches and teammates in New Orleans. Sharper, who joined the Saints as a free agent in 2009, was limited to eight games last season after major offseason knee surgery.
