Maybe Jon Vilma Shouldn't Loan His Condo To Scam Artists

Police on Tuesday were investigating whether two African immigrants were shot in the head at a Long Island condo owned by an NFL player in retaliation for a fake money scam.

The bodies of Sekou Sakor and Ansu Keita turned up in New York City last week around the time neighbors reported gunfire at a vacant condominium in Woodbury, N.Y., owned by Jonathan Vilma. There were no arrests. ESPN

Jonathan Vilma has had a rough offseason this year, first was the reckless driving charge, and now a bunch of African scam artists get murdered in his house. Either way I think Vilma is not going to get in any trouble for this, but it still is ridiculous.

Vilma's Back

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.

Vilma Goes To Saints

The Jets Traded Jonathan Vilma in a deal which sends him to the New Orleans Saints for a 2009 conditional 4th round pick. If Vilma can be healthy and recover from his knee surgery, he will be an excellent addition for this Saints defense. He will thrive in a 4-3 defense like he did with the U, and add a new play-maker for this team whose defense is less than par.
