Why would anyone sign with Detroit?!?! They are way further away from the BIG GAME than New Orleans is....
Because its not Vilma's choice? This would be a trade.
I thought Vilma was allowed to seek a trade by the Jets? Wouldn't that mean that he and his agent would be actively pursuing a place they would like to be traded to? (Of course, I know that the teams would have to agree on compensation... but Vilma was allowed to seek a trade partner by the Jets)
First thing he needs to do is find suitors, no one will give up squat until they examine his knee, and even after all this the Jets would still have to accept the offer from Detriot. I have a feeling based on timing (combine all the GM and coaches are there and meet) I think they probably talked about Rogers who reports were saying would be moved (or they wanted him moved) by the end of the week. So this is what I am concluding. But Vilma dosen;t have any say where he goes, he will go to the highest bidder, he just need to go an take physicals anywhere he would potentially land.
There is another thread discussing the same thing, a merge would be desired.
IF it is only about draft choices, then we have the lead, we are picking earlier then Detroit in each round.
But it is said that the lions want to dump Roy Williams too. If for some reason the lions include either Rogers or Williams in the trade, then we have nothing to do.
I can see this trade happening:
To Detroit: Jon Vilma and Dewayne Robertson
To New York: Roy Williams and Sean Rogers
Not too shabby for either team.
i read about a three way trade with denver involved.
denver gets : robertson
new york gets : rogers
detroit gets : 2nd round pick ( broncos ) , foxworth ( and now vilma ? )
No GermanSaint,
This one was one trade that I could see, not a rumor.
I think this rumoured deal you are including could make some sense for Detroit because of the second rounder. Frankly, Foxworth has been a disappointment.
I am not sure about the Jets, because they would be getting Robertson for Rogers. Rogers wouldn't even start in New York. They have already a quality 3-4 nose tackle in Sione Pouha.
