jon vilma for a 4th round pick?

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3270701

the saints give up a 4th round pick in 09 that could be escalated to a third, depending on how he plays in 08.

i like tulloch, but he's no vilma......

oh yeah, then there's fowler

 

im looking ahead two or three years.

freeney, harrison, wayne, clark manning and addai will be in the middle of big contracts(assuming they re-sign addai) and will be forced to cut come players, knocking them from the top of the division.

that leaves the titans, jags and texans, all power running football teams. having a MLB that can actually move(not fowler) and can consistently cover their gaps(not tulloch) will be valuable.

and hopefully schwartz is gone by then and we can start playing some aggressive defense instead of sitting back in the nickle all game.

i can understand why we didn't make this deal, but we had the opportunity to to get even stronger and faster in the middle of our defense and didn't do it.

 

i would rather us have done this:

Plenty of trades are expected to be announced Friday. The Packers traded franchise defensive tackle Corey Williams to the Browns for a second-round choice. Williams is expected to sign a six-year, $38 million contract.
