Makes a ton of sense to me. I fully expect it to be Darren Sharper.
I really hope so

Could be his decision. He may be waiting to see if he can get a bigger deal than the Pats offered.If it is to be Sharper why didn't they bring him into camp when they worked him out about two weeks ago?

I don't know. As another poster said, why did they cut Page? The answer is they don't always have all the answers all the time and make mistakes.
Maybe at the time they were happy with Sanders and since determined he wasn't worth the money. Maybe Sharper as a vet didn't want to have to deal with the grind of training camp. Lots of reasons.
They didn't CUT Page. His contract was up. A better question is why did they cut Sanders if they are actively looking for a "veteran" safety? Sanders knows the system and has been a leader on the field and in the locker-room.
Sorry misspoke re-sign. The concept remains the same though, of course it could have been as much or more Page's call.
Re: why cut Sanders if you want a vet safety, I can only speculate that it was a $$ related. Thought I read he had the 10th highest cap number on the team which is just bad business for a part-time safety. Maybe looking for something comparable performance-wise for vet min.
DaBruinz: Maybe because he sucked?
*sigh* Yes, Sanders sucked so bad that the Pats kept him around for 6 years and had him start 50 games.
Don't think much before you speak, do you?

With a comment like that, I see you've earned the reputation you have on this board.
past stats is not a guarantee for the future performance. may be he sucks and that is why they cut him. ever heard of Occam's razor ??
Wasn't there talk this winter that Adrian Wilson was available from the Cardinals? He's getting on a bit (11th year in the league) but he's a solid, productive safety. He'd make us better instantly, the way Leonard makes the Jets so much better. Send Meriweather to AZ for Wilson and a 5th and I'd be pysched. They'd get a young 2 time Pro Bowl safety and we'd get a killer D. Bingo. And this from a one-time big Meriweather supporter. We've waited too long and maybe he needs a change, might be great for both teams. Besides, Meriweather is a FA after this year and will get $$ that we'd never pay him.
Why didn't they simply re-sign Jarrad Page?
