Saints nearing deal with Vilma
The Saints are close to finalizing a deal that will bring middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma to the team in a trade with the New York Jets, league sources said.
The deal could be announced as early as later Thursday night or sometime on Friday. Vilma, 6 foot 1, 230 pounds, is a four-year NFL veteran. He played in nine games for New York, his season shortened by knee surgery. He had 43 total tackles in the nine games he played in 2007 for the Jets.

Re: Saints nearing deal with Vilma
more vilma news
Jonathan Vilma is "very very close" to becoming a New Orleans Saint, according to the Washington Post. The New Orleans Times Picayune reports the Jets and New Orleans are "close to finalizing a deal." The Redskins "nosed around" Vilma, but never showed serious interest. The Lions also wanted him, but have less incentive to offer draft picks, assuming that's what the Jets were looking for. Newsday guesses that the Saints will be sending a third-round pick to New York. It's not out of the question that the Jets would in turn send that pick to Carolina for Kris Jenkins. Jonathan Vilma |

Re: Saints nearing deal with Vilma
Awesome, I'd rather get Vilma than a D-III safety. This would be a great pickup if true.
