Sad reality of NOT FOR LONG league. It is hard to see good player come to the end of the run

Barry from MS · 11-06-2013, 05:55 PM

Sad to see, as that's the last time he plays for us, or probably anybody for that matter. Would like to see him on the staff some where, as he has some good leadership qualities and very smart to boot. Considering all he's done for this organization and put up with in all that Bounty Gate junk, this is one respectable dude.

Not only did he put up with he fought against the bounty stuff and exposed Goddell.. I'll wait till after the season to say goodbye. We still got games to win!

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.

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"...
