I remember hearing about some rule in the CBA that restricts when and how you can restructure certain parts of contracts, which helps prevent teams from abusing the cap. That's what I'm talking about.
The bigest is that you cannot restructure per se in the last year of a contract- like Vilma. You can cut him and sign him back in a new deal though. His $8.6mil cap hit is completely unworkable. I've been a big Vilma fan since he arrived. Dunno if he can be worth the vet minimum approaching a million in a 3-4 tho

This is the gist of the Vilma argument imo. I don't think any team, even 4-3 teams, will offer him any more than the min. So if the Saints wanted him he probably would come back for that.
But do they really want him back? It's not like he was much more than average in his prime in a 3-4. And his prime days are far in the past.
Maybe Payton wasn't blowing smoke when he talked about him fitting in, though. I guess we'll see.
