Big news for Gang Green today as the Detroit Free Press is reporting that Jets linebacker Jonathan Vilma was in Detroit today for a physical. How does that work exactly with a player rehabbing from surgery? Are they just looking for structural stability? I don't have the answer, though according to Vilma's web site, he has begun jogging and hopes to be running at full speed in about a month.
According to JetsCentral, Gang Green has expressed an interest in Lions nose tackle Shaun Rogers, who has also been linked the Broncos. This report would mesh with an earlier one that Denver had explored a trade for Jets defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson, whom the Jets would be looking to replace at the nose if they were able to acquire Rogers. Naturally the Broncos, like the Jets, would prefer Rogers to Robertson, however evidently Denver has targeted Dewayne as a backup plan should the Jets snare Rogers from Detroit.
