Make a Deal for Vilma

i didn't know vilma could play corner.

i haven't seen anything wrong with the way fowler has been playing. i mean, he hasn't been spectacular, but he's been pretty solid doing what he was brought here to do.

 

lmao

Bulluck
Vilma
Thornton

Thats too sick to happen. So we wont do it

 

Warren Sapp, Simeon Rice, Vilma... all these trade rumours that float around make the Titans look strikingly similar to my old Madden team, where I ripped off every other roster. Darrell Hill for Chad Johnson was sweeeeet...

But I digress. Vilma would be a nice option, but we're not in dire need. He'll find his home elsewhere, and we'll continue sporting a beasty defense.

 

Why?... Fowler is doing a fantastic job. I'm not sure why you think MLB is our weakest link.

 

Because Vilma is a Beast, and would play Folwer under the table. And "Fantastic" is a bit of a reach, I would say more like "manageable".

 

I'm sure Vilma wouldn't be willing to play for peanuts and we already paid a nice chunk for Fowler. Considering we have much more pressing needs with our CAP I would say no way we are interested.

 

Do the jets like fowler? No way we trade for another MLB unless fowler is part of that trade because sure in the hell are not going to pay both fowler's $2.7M and vilma. Vilma is a heck of a player but there are many quality MLBs in the afc. London fletcher is a similar type player and can be had much more cheaply.

We have made a 2 year commitment to having fowler and tulloch as our MLBs. After 2 years we can release fowler without penalty if we don't consider him to be worth his paycheck. Fowler is only a third year player and is in a 4-3 system for the first time and starting for the first time. He has only been average against the run but seems to be getting better and is a huge upgrade in coverage over what we have had here.

 

The fact that Vilma just underwent pretty serious knee surgery and early reports indicate it may take two years for him to fully recover would also be a good reason for the Titans to spend their money elsewhere.

newsday

 

This is by far the most practical response so far.

Trade for an injured player who doesn't fit our scheme? Not a good idea.
