Yeah would be sweeter if he was taking a physical in Miami... Oh well.

He's coming off knee surgery and the Jets have allowed him to try to work out a deal w/ other teams. It's natural for those teams to want to take a look at his knee before they do anything so this could mean a deal is coming but it could be in the beginning stages as well. Either way I think Vilma is gone and I'm not happy about it.

VILMA IS IN MOTOWN

We reported on Tuesday night that the Lions are the favorites to land linebacker Jonathan Vilma in a trade with the Jets.

On Wednesday, Vilma was in Detroit for a physical.

Vilma was the 12th overall pick in the 2004 draft. He has struggled to adapt to a 3-4 defense, and the thinking is that he'll be better back in a 4-3 attack.

DWIGHT SMITH TO DETROIT

Cut by the Vikings, safety Dwight Smith will now get to play them twice per year.

A league source tells us that Smith has agreed to terms with the Detroit Lions. He'll sign a two-year, $5 million deal.

Per the source, Smith gets a $350,000 signing bonus, a $300,000 training-camp reporting bonus in 2008, and a 2008 base salary of $1.35 million. Next year, Smith is due to receive a $500,000 roster bonus, a $250,000 reporting bonus, and a base salary of $2.25 million.

The move reunites Smith with head coach Rod Marinelli and defensive coordinator Joe Barry, who were assistants in Tampa when Smith played there.

If we can get anything back for him that would be a huge steal for the Jet's, seeing that Vilma is coming off knee surgery.

If this is in fact true then you can forget about Shaun Rogers coming to Miami as he is likely part of this trade.
