What do you do with Vilma??

If we are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, how would you handle Vilma's trade stipulations? Can we sit him and get a higher pick? Do you tag him and then give him a contract? Or do you just continue to play him?

the million dollar question that just wont go away.

well we dont know the exact time table for us resigning him and having to give up a 2nd to the Jets... im sure that they will try to work out a deal with him and then make an agreement that they wont sign the deal until after the "date" that which we do not know...

franchise his ass

Let him play it out... and re-sign him in the offseason. I believe it was that if we signed him to a contract extension, then we'd lose the 2nd. If he wants to be here and willing to sign an extension, he'll be available to us via free agency.

I would. Give him a contract before TC and get his ass some help on the weak side.

It is my opinion that it's unethical and unsportsmanlike to sit a player just so the team can do something in the draft. Let the guy play like he's supposed to and re-sign him. There is no doubt that he has earned what the Saints paid for him....let him play.

I can see the logic of sitting him, but that would just look desperate and ridiculous.

i am still wondering about moving Scott over to WLB.

Most of the 4-3 LBs out there are SLB.

Angelo Crowell Buffalo

Leroy Hill, Seattle

Now if this move was the case we should steal

Michael Boley from Atlanta. LOL

nah WLB is probably the direction we will go in the draft in round 1. We have locked up drafting between 10 and 16 right now. We are sitting at the 13th pick.

So the FO better be careful with the game they play here concerning Vilma. I am sure the time table will be after the draft and Vilma will be watching every move on defense very closely.

Tell Grant and Smith we want our money back and give it to Vilma. Don't screw with him, let him play and do what you agreed to.

I would play him every down, and hope that the Saints can resign him when the time comes. If Vilma decides to go elsewhere, then oh well. Sitting him would probably kill any chance of getting him back, and it would also hurt the Saints chances for obtaining quality players in the near future. Treat the man right and chances are he will be back for many years to come. Hopefully, the Saints can lock him up before the season is over.
