The Saints have acquired linebacker Jonathan Vilma from the New York Jets for a conditional 4th round pick that could improve based on Vilma’s play.  Vilma played in 7 games last season for the Jets and he made 43 tackles, defensed 4 passes and picked one off.  Vilma has now played in 55 games in his NFL career and he has made 441 tackles, defensed 19 passes, had 2.5 sacks, forced 5 fumbles and has intercepted 6 passes including one that he returned for a TD.  This was an outstanding move for the Saints as Vilma is a impact player.
