I'm more excited about Smith being able to play all 16. Vilma was hurt and was gonna miss the 1st half of the season anyway.

It'll be great to have Vilma return fresh for the end of the season.

Agreed, but would really like to see, ML, SP, JV have some relief as well by leveraging the appeals decisions. Think for that to occur today's decision will have to be released to see if there is a legal way to include them.

Can you guys have Vilma pull some strings and get our Cap money back too, since he clearly is a miracle worker. Thanks!

Tidbit on Vilma...

After having his one-year suspension overturned, Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune expects Jonathan Vilma to be placed on the reserve/PUP list, costing him the first six games.

While it's good news for Vilma that he can resume collecting game checks, there's still no guarantee he'll help the Saints this year. Vilma has undergone three surgeries on his left knee since last November. The 30-year-old didn't participate in any practices or preseason games with the Saints this summer and fall.

Yeah, I wonder why that was the case?!

Awesome news regardless of the fact that it isn't totally over yet.

Goodell made Vilma's suspension begin immediately after the ruling.

Yeah, I was just making fun of the report, which made it sound like Vilma had chosen not to take part in the offseason activities with the Saints out of his own volition.

Right, I would give anything to see his reaction.

Oh snap! Can we afford Vilma? His salary didn't count against the cap this year, now it does.
