Was the Payton Vilma talk just a smokescreen?

I agree. Dont get me wrong, I still think Vilma can help us because he does bring a lot of knowlege, fb iq, leadership to the table, and he can still make plays.

I dont think SP was talking him up for a trade, I think SP genuinly wants to find a way for Vilma to fit in, and I think they will. I just dont think he will be very successful at it. Just like we will scheme to hide his weakness, teams will scheme to exploit it.

I don't know if Vilma will actually be here this season. Remember, Vilma complained that he couldn't play up to his potential when the Jets went to a 3-4D. That is actually what led him to be traded to the Saints, since they played a 4-3, which was much more to Vilma's liking and, supposedly, played to his strengths much better.
