The Jets have given ILB Jonathan Vilma permission to shop himself for a potential trade. Vilma is coming off knee surgery, but he was a Pro Bowl alternate his second season, and just doesn't fit well into Eric Mangini's 3-4 defense. He'll seek a long-term deal with a team that would then have to work out a trade with the Jets. Reuniting with former Jets defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson in Jacksonville is a possibility.

You don't have to be a genius to know that he'll likely command top dollar. Add to that the fact that you'd still have to give up a first day pick (likely a first rounder) and he's not worth it.

Trade Market for players is down, if D. Hall is only going for the lowest 1st I bet we could swing a 3rd for Vilma.

"Only?" Hall is a joke, I wouldn't give anything more than a third.

It will be interesting to see how many of these players on the trading block end up being cut like DeShawn Foster-
