Jenkins for Vilma Trade?

According to NJ.com it’s a possibility as the Jets are looking for a DT:
“The Jets may be on the verge of filling the gigantic hole in the middle of their 3-4 defense with a Pro Bowler.
Although free agency starts tomorrow, the Jets have been in trade talks with the Carolina Panthers and Detroit Lions the past several days regarding Pro Bowl defensive tackles Kris Jenkins and Shaun Rogers, respectively, according to two people familiar with the Jets’ intentions
The two people requested anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the negotiations.
The Panthers and Lions are believed to be interested in Jets middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma…”
I would imagine, if this were to happen, they would look at moving Vilma to the Will spot now occupied by Diggs. While we just resigned him we didn’t exactly break the bank of him and could keep him around for depth. There’s a lot of speculation surrounding Vilma’s knee, some feel it was just a ploy to get him off the field because he wasn’t happy and they wanted to try other options….Jeremy Bridges absessed tooth at the end of this season comes to mine.
