“The Saints reportedly gave up a 2008 draft pick and a conditional 2009 draft pick for Jonathan Vilma.
This makes a lot more sense, although we’re not sure why A) So many stories were proven incorrect Friday and B) there is so much secrecy on the terms of a trade. The deal was originally reported as [...]

UPDATE: Looks like I broke the story that Michael Smith couldn’t. Mark this moment down in history. I was just too timid when I thought about questioning Michael Smith and his rugged handsomeness to really go with it.
Rock triangulates what I heard following, saying that Rick Smith said ESPN’s story is [...]

According to the Jets, in addition to adding Kris Jenkins, they have extended Sione Pouha, who seems the likely candidate for a few years to backup Jenkins and come in for the Jets situationally.
It seems an odd time to extend Pouha, but if they think he’s the right guy for the job, they might as [...]

Alan Faneca’s agent, Rick Smith told the Daily News that the Jets are passionately interested in the former Pro-Bowl Guard.
“They’re absolutely all in, to use a poker term.”
I have to admit, I am getting a little nervous now. The hope is that just because they are “all in” doesn’t truly mean there is nothing left [...]

In a push to bolster their secondary, the Boston Globe has learned that the Saints have invited the former Patriot and Louisiana native Randall Gay to visit on Saturday.
The Jets could be a contender for Randall Gay with his RFA visit last season, but with a number of #2 CBs and slot corners, the Jets [...]

It’s official, the linebacker is heading to the New Orleans Saints for a conditional fourth-round pick in ‘09 that could become a third-rounder, depending on on how Vilma performs. Vilma has yet to receive a new deal with his new team, which is the largest indictment of what he was able to command on the [...]

The Jets have given Kris Jenkins a rather bonus laden deal (containing about $20 million worth between guaranteed and bonuses), according to Rich Cimini and the Daily News.
I don’t know the specifics, but my thought is that the Jets likely loaded up as much they could in roster bonuses leaving things open ended as best [...]

Call us a little more jaded than Pat Yaskinas of ESPN.com, but he thinks that big city = big season for Kris Jenkins and writes as much on Hashmarks:
Jenkins is the kind of guy who gets bored easily and he got bored and disgruntled in Carolina, where he had stopped believing in the coaching staff [...]

According to PFT, the Eagles announced Asante Samuel will in fact visit the team on Friday, as speculated reports had stated. After that, he will be made available to media at 4:30 p.m. EST.
If that doesn’t sound like it’s pretty much wrapped up, I’m not sure what does.
I’m not really concerned that the Jets [...]

The deal has been finalized that will send the Pro-Bowl Defensive Tackle to the Jets for a third and fifth round pick. It’s ironic that the one thing that Vilma never had after his rookie season, decent tackles to protect him, the Jets were now willing to get for the front office’s new [...]

I’m not really sold on the Jets putting the full court press on Calvin Pace, but it seems that there hasn’t been much chatter about the DE/OLB. Although there’s some hype about the young player, he’s being considered a sleeper this offseason as a tweener who can basically only play in the 3-4, he’s not [...]

Terms of the Alan Faneca deal which apparently are too good to refuse have been made known, and at present it sounds like a four year deal with $20 million in guaranteed money and a total value of $32 million.
With an exploding cap, my biggest concern with getting Faneca was overpaying an aging player and [...]
