so he's gonna run the ball more, go back to short passing plays, and script the first 2 drives from now on in his honor right?

I agree and I love Vilma. One of my favorite Saints game day jerseys too.

Because when you have a 32 year old aging LBer with glass knees on your roster, you do everything in your power to ensure that he takes up an otherwise useful roster spot.

I don't think you do that to a guy who just took a huge pay cut and restructured his contract for the betterment of the team.

I saw another tweet that said he had a ways to go in his rehab. I think he retires.

The point of IR is that it doesn't take up a roster spot.

In retrospect though, he effectively took up a roster spot. The short term IR could have been used on Harper if it had not been wasted on Vilma.

Looks like it was Adam Banks/Charlie Conway/Russ Tyler situation.
