Jets give Vilma permission to seek out trade
 

From Rotoworld:

The Jets have given ILB Jonathan Vilma permission to shop himself for a potential trade.

Vilma is coming off knee surgery, but was a Pro Bowl alternate his second season, and just doesn't fit well into Eric Mangini's 3-4 defense. He'll seek a long-term deal with a team that would then have to work out a trade with the Jets. Reuniting with former Jets defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson in Jacksonville is a possibility. There has also been talk in St. Louis of the Rams sending the No. 2 overall pick to the Jets for the No. 6 pick and Vilma, though that seems unlikely. Feb. 22 - 9:09 am et

What do you think of trading for Vilma? He's YOUNG, and very good. DJ and Vilma? Not a bad 1-2 combo. We could swap the 5 and 6 picks give them the pick we got from Tampa Bay? I don't know the draft chart points so it's an off the top of my head idea, which is probably unrealistic.

Um, if we could get Vilma for trading down ONE spot, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I would trade the 5 and a late pick for Vilma and the 6th.

Then we could cut that waste Napoleon Harris.

Hell yes.

do it yesterday

Vilma good terms with Herm, Id says it's a distinct possiblity if the Jets don't want too much

The more I think though, the more I wonder why the Jets would do that. Who do they get a shot at at #5 that they won't get a shot at at #6?

Vilma was a Herm draft choice wasn't he? If so, I would imagine that he would make a big push for the trade to bring him here. Better ask the all knowing Mecca though. He probably sucks or is used up or something.

If you can get him moving down 1 spot absolutely, but unless the jets fall in love with a player they think we would take it has no chance anyway.

Kinda what I was thinking.

I like Vilma, but lets understand he is coming off of a pretty serious knee injury I believe..

The Jets are gonna be high on Ellis and Gholston most likely.....

I'd deal for him provided he medically checks out.

Does anyone know what his cap number would be and how much time is left on his deal?

Can we trust the doctor's here to properly check him out? I don;t think we can.

Well, they were obviously wrong on Kendrell Bell. But it looks like they were onto something with Samari Rolle.

He wants to sign a new deal with the "tradee" PLUS work a deal out with the jets.
