    Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports free agent safety Darren Sharper would only speculate that the Jets might be a good fit, without indicating whether or not they've shown interest in him. He said he loves their scheme under aggressive head coach Rex Ryan - whose attacking philosophy is similar to that of Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. And he loves that they've got two excellent cornerbacks, like the Saints have in Jabari Greer in Tracy Porter, which would free him up to make more plays. "I have the utmost respect for Rex Ryan, seeing what he did last year and how quickly he turned things around with a rookie quarterback. And I sat down and watched that scheme and what they did," Sharper said. "And like I've told people before, the New York teams, there's something about the big lights and the big city that fits me, and I know I would fit there."
