Vilma - Eagles Rumours
 
There seems to be a few rumours going round the net that Vilma could be getting traded to the Eagles.

Not sure if there is anything in it or not.

He was seen on a plane heading there.

Ok
I just saw the rumours and wanted to see if there was anything in it.

Eagles don't have any one the Saints would want outside of maybe DeMarco Ryans. What a stupid rumor

I guess we will find out in due time...

Re: Vilma - Eagles Rumours
 
And here I was thinking that Harper was the most likely to be traded this season. Silly me... Haha

I just wish we could hear a rumor that someone is interested in putting Will Smith on a plane to visit their team!

Draft picks

If true this would be a good thing. I don't see him making it through a whole year. We can then grab another team's excess that came close.

If it did happen it would free up an additional $3.8 million in cap space. That might give us enough "wiggle room" to pick up vet like perhaps ... Richard Seymore.

That's exactly what I was going check.

Larry Holder ~ I'm aware of the Vilma/Philly rumors. So far all I know is that he's not out at practice this morning.

The list of what is available.

Isn't Philly where we sent all our players for Sports Hernia surgery?

That is what I thought when I saw your earlier post about the plane. Possibly going to see a Doctor/specialist.

Re: Vilma - Eagles Rumours
 
Greer and Ivory both went to Phili for Sports Hernia surgery.... Coincidentally, that is also where we send players when they are traded to the Eagles.

Re: Vilma - Eagles Rumours
 
Vilma was also examined by Dr. Meyers in 2012 for the same thing.

I wonder why Boley and McGrath havent been picked up?

Where does these rumors start

The trade involves two number one draft picks and a LT. :wink:

1. Was spotted on a plane to Philly
2. We're in training camp
3. He wasn't at practice today.

Easy rumor to start.

Re: Vilma - Eagles Rumours
 
(Vilma+Flight to Philadelphia)= Vilma going to Philadelphia
(Wednesday Practice- Vilma)/(Vilma - hurt at practice Tuesday) = Vilma healthy and not at practice.

Re: Vilma - Eagles Rumours
 
I understand it from the Saints view. Dump the salary of an aging veteran, who isn't best in the 3-4, and get a draft pick. Humber plays like a young Vilma by the way. He really flashed against the Chiefs. I can see why the Eagles would be interested. Bring in a proven vet to provide leadership and solid play. Try to compete this year as best you can. My guess it's injury related though.

Been a long time since I seen Vilma play a full game, much less a full season.
Trade him? Trade him for what? So he goes to Philly and sits on IR there?

Hey.... Someone gave Ivory a new place to sit didn't they? :)

Free up 3.8 mil so we can sign Jimmy Graham a year early, lock him up, maybe??

What happened to "Vilma is in the best shape of his entire career."

Sigh.

He was until he got bite by that dreaded sports hernia that none of the Saints trainers seem to know how to rehab

He wont make the final 53, mark my words.

Didn't Vilma fly to Philly for a second opinion on a mysterious injury? How did the Eagles rumor get started again?! :rolleyes:

That's what I said...Boobie Traps

It's a medical visit; may have to get another party to certify his condition so that he can retire and the insurance that may have been secured for his contract could pay out...

Re: Vilma - Eagles Rumours
 
Never made sense that the Eagles would trade for Vilma. They've switched to a 3-4 as well so why in the world would they trade for a guy that there's so much speculation about whether he'll fit into our 3-4 and his knee is essentially breaking down.

Nobody is taking Will Smith unless we pay them to do it.

And isn't sports hernia the only injury our players seem to suffer? must be a catch all....
