Jonathan Vilma

I loved Vilma coming out of college, I thought he would be the perfect fit for the Saints. He did have three great seasons before this past injury riddled season occurred, so maybe he is worth the gamble. If he can comeback next season, maybe a 3rd round pick is worth the gamble. Although anytime I hear the word microfracture, that puts up a serious red flag.

I'd pass. He's great, but I agree. Too much risk. We already have Deuce and Reggie with knees, MM with the knee, and Meachem with the knee so having another palyer with a knee injury is asking for trouble.

BTW, I saw Dorsey strip the ball out, but is he expected to be 100% for training camp?
