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.
