If the Fletcher-Baker deal isn't consummated and Clements opts to sign elsewhere, the Redskins could trade for middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma, the 2004 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year who struggled when the New York Jets switched to a 3-4 scheme in 2006, and cornerback Dre Bly, who wants out of Detroit and whom the Lions are shopping.


No wonder Willis and the Giants like each other, he still wants to play his buddy twice a year!

If this is true, I'm not one bit disappointed with Vilma leaving the division.

Neither am I. However, I'm surprised that the Jets would shop him.

Re: Those Redskins...

Finally some players are wising up, and would rather make a little less scratch, than sign with a dead end team. It's refreshing.

Wouldn't mind Vilma in a Bills uniform at all.

Re: Those Redskins...

How about trading Willis for Jonathan Vilma? They can keep up the rivalry and I'd think Jonathan Vilma would do better in cover 2 4-3 defense.

Re: Those Redskins...

I thought Vilma was a FA, or is he RFA... Guess not, I was under the impression all year he was a FA this offseason. And he'd be my first choice at LB over anyone except maybe Briggs.

Re: Those Redskins...

The Skins will do something soon. It's March - their time to shine. They're always good for at least 2 big signings every offseason. Hasn't gotten them anywhere, but some people there still believe that's the way to go.
