Saints | Jonathan Vilma fits new scheme

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said he believes LB Jonathan Vilma, a prototypical 4-3 middle linebacker, can make the switch to the team's new 3-4 scheme under defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.

Falcons | Curtis Lofton likely to be paid well

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 21:27:16 -0800

The team for free-agent LB Curtis Lofton (Falcons) is likely to point to the four-year, $36 million deal signed last August by New York Jets LB David Harris as a comparable deal for their client.

However, in each of his four seasons, Lofton has recorded more than 100 tackles, so his departure would leave a huge hole for the defense.
