The Saints reached agreement with free-agent linebacker Jonathan Vilma on a five-year, $34 million contract that includes $17 million guaranteed and $23 million in the first three years.
This is huge news for the Who Dat nation. The Saints defense was so much better with Vilma at the middle LB spot. He couldn't fit into the Jets 3-4 scheme, but he is a perfect 4-3 linebacker. New Orleans was all worried about whether or not he was going to come back and now they can breath easy. In my eyes Vilma was the best middle LB on the market, sure Ray Lewis and Bart Scott have the hype but Vilma is still young and the real deal. Now that they have Vilma secured, they should start worrying about building around him.
