SAINTS TRADE FOR MLB JOHNATHAN VILMA!

I'm sorry guys. I know he's not exactly a sure thing since he's coming off knee surgery and all, but man am I happy. The Jets got a 4th round Draft pick in 2009, or a conditional 3rd if Vilma meets certain playing standards. It's a little bit of a weird trade since they gave away a 3rd and a 5th for Kris Jenkins, and Vilma is only 25 with a lot more upside, but it's tough to trade injured players who teams know don't work well in your scheme (Vilma being too small to take on guards and centers routinely from the 3-4). 

The Saints also resigned DT Brian Young. He's 30 years old with 21.5 career sacks (3 last season, although he missed 6 games) and and 298 Tackles.
