A question for Jets Fans
I would appreciate your opinion of Jonathan Vilma who the Saints acquired today. He's had some injury problems, but the Saints have a whole bunch of money to toss around now. I'm having difficulty understanding the Saints fascination with linebackers this off season. I'd rather see them look for cornerbacks.

Your perspective is valued.

1. he might be shot
his knee was rumored to be a bone-on-bone condition. Still, if healthy, he needs to play in a 4-3 defense. Being in a 3-4 last year killed him becasue the guards would eat him up.

He's a very good player, when healthy and in the proper system. But it all depends on how well his knee is. If he can ever fully recover is a big question mark.

I'd say for what the Saints gave up, a 3rd or 4th round pick, it's not a huge gamble. He CAN be a tackling machine. But it all depends on the system. Without the proper system, his lack of size works against him.

As for off-the-field stuff, he's a good character guy. Good leader in the locker room, even though he's relatively young.
