Saints Place Vilma on IR

Well, he'll be a coach now. I wonder if he really was hurt. Perhaps this move was a way to free up his $ over for salary cap purposes.

If either of those deadlines pass, the player must remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the season.[1]

Wow, so he can wait until week 14 to activate or IR him. Wow, thats a lot of rehab time. 7 months of rehab. He could be ready for a postseason run.

I think they keep Victor on the shelf until next season & allow that knee to heal properly.

I cant recall where I read it but he is already running and cutting on the knee; getting into "football shape".

Edit: here it is... 2nd paragraph

Thank you JV for your leadership and your passion for the Saints. I think we've seen the last of him but he was a great player for us during iur SB year. Maybe he'll go into coaching?

Thanks for giving us the best of your career JV, hopefully we see you back as a coach.

The Saints are rich in its short history of outstanding linebackers...

He has the distinction of being the leader of the first defense to win a Superbowl for New Orleans...

He may have been from the "U", but Vilma gets an "A" in my book...

Thank You, Jon Vilma

By the by, from his Wikipedia bio...

"Along with his success on the field, Vilma was a three-time Academic All-Big East Conference (with) a Bachelor's degree in finance from the University of Miami's School of Business Administration."

That's not Hotel Administration nor Sports Management Studies ladies, that's a degree in Finance - very impressive resume' adding "Champion Linebacker"...
